SIGN THE PETITION FOR MORE MEDICAL RESIDENCIES FOR CANADIANS FIRST!

We need more medical residency positions. More residency positions can be created if we press the federal government to replace foreigners with Canadian citizens and permanent residents by enforcing the provisions of the Immigration Act which requires Canadians to come first. If we stop allowing foreigners to use up our training resources and taking our training jobs, residency positions will have to be filled by Canadians.
In 2010, the federal government exempted foreigners applying for a visa to work in a residency position from having to prove through a Labour Market Impact Analysis (LMIA) that (a) there is no Canadian able to fill the position and (b) that allowing a foreigner fill the position is not hurting Canadians interests. This exemption is called Bulletin 230.
SOCASMA filed an application for the revocation of this which allows foreigners to take residency training jobs that should go to Canadians. There are currently about 310 residency positions in Canada filled by foreigners and 346 residency positions in the International Medical Graduate Stream.
This is important to all Canadians.
