Just another way the imperialist west fucks the developing world. USA is good at this too.

I think they are escaping a situation in S.A. or they wouldn't come, most of the SA doctors I have met came from wealth back in S.A.

I think the same thing is about to happen in another furrin country where the MD's are experiancing a loss of confidence in their employers ... Alberta

I think you mean how the political correctness of the western world takes a perfectly functioning country and pressures it into turning itself upside down.

Those white SA fleeing are proof. I meet them all over the world, and saw it myself having lived there.

I sold a canoe to a guy and I said something about being an MD to which he asked how did you know?

I said you have a S.A. accent and a nice car ... gotta be an MD

Just for context, the total number of practicing physicians and specialists in Canada that graduated elsewhere is about 24000 (Canadian Institute of Health Information). This includes immigrants from developed nations as well as the 3rd world.

In 2019, Canada alone accepted over 28000 refugee claims from those 3rd world countries.

And consider also Doctors Without Borders Canada in 2019 had 179 field workers, including 97 medical personnel such as doctors, nurses, and midwives, as well as 87 non-medical personnel such as administrators, engineers and logisticians (Charity Intelligence Canada).

Yes, scooping trained physicians from troubled parts of the world is a concern, but must be viewed in a much broader picture.

I know a number of save-the-world types who did stints with CUSO, a doctor/ RPF's/ engineer

Doctors are independent business people so if you got a place they want to move to for lifestyle thats what they will do, skiing biking fishing i don't think there has ever been an MD shortage here

More MD's will becoming from that troubled part of the world ... Alberta

I applaud Canada being the current world leader in accepting refugees (used to USA before Trump), but it is still a small drop in the bucket compared to all the young, wealthy, highly skilled people Canada accepts as permanent residents every year (340,000 in 2019). There are counter arguments to Canada's Trump approved merit based immigration system.

Of that 340000, just under 100000 are family reunification, and then add the refugees/humanitarian. Not quite all skilled, young, and wealthy, as you state.
And that 340000 represents almost 80% of our population growth - like many developed countries, our young, wealthy and skilled population are not breeding enough for replacement. Again, it's a very complicated subject.

ETA: of that 340000, >85000 from India, and >30000 from China. I think their skilled population numbers are safe in countries of more than 1billion each. The philippines account for almost 28000, with the majority starting here as temporary foreign workers (not skilled, or wealthy), with many getting approved for permanent residency after few years working here. Perhaps we should reduce the almost 11000 that came from the US, Ullr knows you need to keep all the talent you can get!

No, but I did live in apartheid SA when I was very young. Had the shit beat out of me daily by Afrikaners. Teacher would whip us and the headmasters caned me for my California mouth.

My position is that the British should have never given those fucks independence.

Kinda like the USA.

Perfectly functioning country up until around 1500.

Are there any countries in the world where you aren’t an expert?

Where you grow up (especially when “very young”) does not determine what countries you are an expert on.

But please - regale us with more war stories from apartheid.
