be aware...
if you are applying for a specialty in Ontario after your residency you must do a return of Service and they only have Northern locations that you must serve for 5 years ... by NORTHERN I mean anything Sudbury and higher latitude:

This is like blackmail because IMGs are doing work in residency. Without IMGs those spots would go unfilled anyways because the schools do not train enough of their own doctors for the country. Why should IMGs be forced to work where no one else wants to with no added perks on top of that ? After training where one chooses to work should be their own choice ... I think that this is a major problem that needs to be looked at, there is no justification for this ROS, as IMGs have families too and do not want to pack their bags and move up north. At least in the US docs have the choice to move to smaller towns and get paid more .. any opinions?
