The kicker was part of their med program has students do exchanges to hospitals in other countries to diversify their learning. He went to Quebec for 3 months and worked in an ER there. So as a German he's fine to be a doctor here but apparently not as a Canadian.

The problem is we don't have enough spots in school. I knew some people from Nanaimo who could not get in here so went to the Caribbean to get medical degrees and now work in Chicago. Lots of South Asians do that. The new med school the NDP and SFU have opened will help solve that problem.
