The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is urging swift action to capitalize on a potential influx of American medical professionals seeking relocation. CMA President Dr. Joss Reimer identifies this as a crucial “window of opportunity” for Canada to attract skilled US healthcare workers. With provinces like Nova Scotia already implementing fast-track licensing pathways and seeing positive results, the focus is now on removing immigration barriers and streamlining the transition process for qualified American doctors. The initiative comes as Canada faces a significant shortage of healthcare professionals, with nearly 23,000 unfilled positions nationwide.
