Alberta or BC would be better options if you want to live on the lake. You can have the backdrop of mountains too!

Actually, its a weird thing. Its medical insurance funded by public funds. Doctors are still doing their private practice only they are being paid via public funds. There are indeed regulations on medical practice as in how many people you can see in a day. Then there are medical cartel who ensure that foreign trained doctors (even from UK etc) do not get to practice easily. So, even if you allow doctors to charge money, all you will allow is for people to jump the queue. It will not solve the problem of supply of Drs. The bigger issue is lack of supply of qualified doctors and family physicians moving to become specialists.

Its a very deep issue. A lot to do with cost of running a private practice. What is needed is a place for Drs to practice and earn while skipping the expense of running essentially a small business. That and reduction of tax burden on Drs can help attract a lot of Drs in family practice --where there is a massive shortage of Drs.

BC started "Mohalla Clinics" of sorts called Primary and Urgent Care Clinics. Its common place for Drs and RNs with proper training to consult without expense of running a clinic.

The main issue in healthcare is supply like you said. Residency numbers annually has not changed in years while the population increased drastically. They make it near impossible for foreign professionals to get licensed. It seems like they will finally improve the wait for nurses, but its ridiculous, having thousands of experienced professionals working as PSW for years because their degree analysis is still pending. That together with an aging population screws everything up.

I read that there are more than enough Canadian doctors but they cap numbers per year to get a license to prevent lowering salaries because they fear they will go to US instead. Kinda makes sense but sucks at the same time

Then those doctors that couldn't get a residency simply goes to the US to complete it, so its still quite dumb.

Hi fellows! I am planning to withdraw/recreate my EE profile in June due to some family changes. My question is whether this can affect me in July when they resume draws because my account will become fresh and there is a tie-break rule...? What is the best solution could be?

Its because he asked in Ontario. If you want quiet lake and nature, Alberta is better. Even the eastern marine provinces are nice for a quiet life.

If you need to do it, you need to do it. The earlier the better. What other option do you have?

Both of you are correct, Canada ain't a place to make money but it's more peaceful than US for sure. Something about the US culture, its like everyone is on coke. Think I'm gonna find a peaceful town to live by a lake but close enough to commute to work. Just enjoy my slow paced life and enjoy nature

You should go to Sudbury. It's a beautiful charming town surrounded by lakes

I'm thinking a town near Lake Simcoe. Rural but still drivable to GTA for a job

I think @dankboi said he's going to Sudbury

Is it by design? Low number of residencies? Also, why to ask experienced Drs from abroad to repeat residencies?

I have no idea if its intentional, but the number of residencies yearly hardly changed much since last decade, while population grew a lot. Like it was said above, it could be intentional to restrict supply so wages dont go down. There is also the issue that people don't really like working in family medicine. I guess they rather go the long game into a more profitable specialization. It has the highest number of vacancies unmatched.

Part of the problem running a family practice is at times you need to run a business ie payroll, expenses etc if you run your own clinic. Doing that in a place like BC is expensive as hell. You start out with massive debt and then you need to pay even more to establish and run a clinic. Thats why they go for specialization : you join a hospital or a bigger established clinic and escape the nightmare of running a business. Govt needs to control the prices really in BC/Ontario. Its becoming useless to even live in these two provinces...

Ask ircc on twitter via DM. Best way to get a good answer. To be honest, you need 6 months validity for a PPR to be attached to your Passport.
