Immigration: An issue that needs attention

Immigration. Such a vital part of Canada is not getting the attention it deserves. One of Canada's Government's top priorities should be having a much more comprehensive Immigration strategy. Often, fully qualified immigrants with MDs and BAs are not recognized in Canada. When we have a shortage of doctors in many rural areas, why are these people overlooked? Anybody that has taken schooling in medicine for a dozen years can write a basic prescription no matter where they come from. All of the parties need to make this a central goal. Since so many Canadians were at one time immigrants and this entire country is basically built around it, we need a far better system.
