Dr. Varastehpour's comments were so forceful and strong that I think I'd like to hear some responses from others about his frustration. Looking at the statistics, it's clear Canada seems to have fallen down on the job over the last several years. According to our researchers, IMGs represented about 23% of the total physician workforce in 2007, and that's a decrease from 33% in the late 1970s. So something's going wrong. I hear what everyone's saying about the system and doing the best you can, but I guess I'd like to know, when there is a level playing field, how do IMGs not get into the system?
