@kwabenaabeam1 @jnrjust_ice This is false though. Most schools had green/gold teachers. Extra teachers were employed

@jnrjust_ice When Double track For SHS was implemented, the same teachers did the work with same pay. Keep quiet and suffer. The country you're in

The poor house officers bruh. I feel so bad for them

Grateful to have couples-matched to an Advanced Radiology position in my dream city. Grateful to God, my family, friends and mentors. I am currently seeking a PGY-1 position (General Surgery Prelim, Internal Medicine Prelim or TY) to begin training this summer.

I officially went unmatched post-SOAP. I’ll be reaching out to programs with unfilled spots starting tomorrow. Already did a urology research year. Looking for prelim surgery positions if available. Any and all help is appreciated! #SOAP2026 #eras2026

You went unmatched monday? as do 40% of IMGs and 8% of US grads. After the SOAP and 98% percent of US grads have a spot and the rest scramble in

Had this interesting conversation in LinkedIn comments of all places after my hub article went out last week (thehub.ca/2026/03/13/how…) The person said we didn’t have enough data to assert that Francophone immigrants struggle to settle in Canada outside Quebec and that I’m not considering language as a valuable enough skill (even if it’s the main skill they have). The article itself never asserted that by the way, it was a critique of using our high skilled immigration selection system for selecting lower skilled immigrants in large quantities for predominantly one skill: French language. What ensued was a long conversation in the comments where I learned that the person works for a provincial government and described the Francophone immigration as a nation building effort. And when I asked for employment and integration stats across the country for the people selected in that category, there were none that were provided to me. It baffles me that till this day, people who are pro this policy, do not understand my main point: no one is saying French language is the issue. Or inviting French speakers for immigration is the issue. The issue is making the bar very low in order to accommodate a very high number of invitations to apply for permanent residence in a short period of time. The issue is the execution. We don’t need to source from the same few countries every time - we can diversify our intake and attract higher skilled Francophones from other countries as well. And I don’t remember socio economic barriers cited as an excuse for lower skills in other express entry categories. Look at the March Express Entry draws. Consistently over 500 points for CEC and under 400 for Francophone. And yes the CRS system has its own issues but it clearly shows the outsized, 100+ point, skill and experience gap between the two categories. This is my main point. That and we need a serious overhaul and redesign of the CRS scoring system and express entry for this very reason. That’s all.

Oh c'mon. French???

@Olufemiloye As I was saying the last time, I hope the student work in Canada under FSW counts. And I think it does. Looking at the MI for the two “in-Canada” draws (physicians-in Canada + senior managers), invitations were sent to FSW, CEC and “FST”. CEC only draws only go to CEC.

Got a response from IRCC on this today. Looking good so far I sent a follow up to clarify some parts of the details received. Hopefully, we will get the follow up response fast enough, so we can share I have the feeling a draw in the researcher category will also happen soon🤞🏾

@CPost2020 @williams___p @CitImmCanada A lot. I do know. I'm in the space and my colleagues leave all the time. That still doesn't invalidate what I said.

@XVids_Daily @williams___p @CitImmCanada Have you the slightest clue how many Canadian grads do in fact pass the exams but choose to leave due to lack of support and opportunities in their own country?

We’re making the path to permanent residence simpler for international medical doctors to support a stable health care system for Canadians by offering doctors: •5 options to get permanent residence through Express Entry and regional, provincial and territorial programs •faster 14-day work permit processing for medical doctors nominated by a province or territory, so they can work while waiting for permanent residence Medical doctors can also include their family members in their application.

@CPost2020 @williams___p @CitImmCanada You do realize that this is a list of non-doctors right? If you pretend to be a doctor rn without a verified degree, you'd end up on this list. It is not a list of people who would have qualified for any of the pathways in IRCC’s tweet.

@XVids_Daily @williams___p @CitImmCanada As I said, a quick google search away. This is Ontario only. Sure you’re capable of searching all other provinces. cpso.on.ca/public/public-…

@QueenEfexii @lynne_winnifred Some provinces pay for the exams for drs. Some give grants. The rest have very low interest loans for medical exams. Money is never the issue, neither is passing. It's the low number of mandatory training jobs for new grads & assessment jobs for specialists that's a barrier

@lynne_winnifred Fees never discouraged a Dr that have set their mind on something, they go run am slow and steady.

Exams doesn’t discourage any Doctor, that’s why they are Drs. The numerous exam you talk about are normal exams expected from Drs that want to practice in a country that isn’t their parent country where they got their medical licence from . It’s a piece of cake for any Dr.

Insane part is that they bought travel insurance of 100k which seems reasonable, now they are left with about 150k in medical debt. Its just insane.

@CPost2020 @williams___p @CitImmCanada Even if, for some reason, someone with a fake degree managed to bypass all the verification steps, how exactly would they pass the exams, including the in-person orals? These are exams that Canadian grads routinely fail & some doctors trained in Canada struggle to pass

@CPost2020 @williams___p @CitImmCanada Medical degrees are verified through the same service used in the US and UK. In addition, the Medical Council of Canada performs further verification checks. After that, foreign grads must pass several exams in Canada before they can practise. Stop being ignorant.

Lol what percentage does he think is currently being used for this?

They moved here thats why

@Maverick_Jnr Lmao ikr. And Canada has had this same prioritizing thingy since the 90s. 95% match rates for local grads, less than 17% for Canadian-IMGs. 0% for non-Canadian IMGs Everywhere choke

'Sit PLAB write AMC' 'Go to Ireland' 'Try Canada' Smh one would think those pathways didnt exist before yesterday's news. How many jobs sef dy Ireland.

Germany has also started showing signs of residency bottleneck so the earlier you start learning german, the better

So now USMLE or learn a new language? Vim wae

@umang_satute @priteshlakhani Currently paying $20 for 80gb. That promo is over now but their other deals are way better than yours. And it’s 5G too. You're getting fleeced publicmobile.ca/en/sk/plans?re…

@priteshlakhani Bro I am paying CA$56 for 80gb 4g data. BTW this is the cheapest plan in the market right now.

Friend says he pays $70 per month just for Wifi in Canada. Felt sorry for him.

@__dozman The bill is just going to disrupt their primary healthcare delivery because a lot of factors weren't taken into consideration. Just competition ratios ( which doesn't tell the full story)

@__dozman 💯. IMGs mostly get GP/Psych posts in less competitive locations. Most of the ones I know were waitlisted and only got it after someone rejected the spot. And for the UK grads who end up accepting, a good percentage stop midway when they get their preferred speciality/location.

But, would they?
