🎙Doctors Driving Taxis: How Canada Fails Its Skilled Immigrants
Canada welcomes skilled professionals—doctors, engineers, lawyers—yet thousands find themselves underemployed, working as taxi drivers, cashiers, or in survival jobs. Why does this happen? What barriers prevent skilled immigrants from working in their fields? And what is the real cost of this wasted talent—for both individuals and the Canadian economy?
In this episode, we dive deep into:
✅ The"Canadian experience" trap—why it keeps immigrants locked out of their professions
✅ The broken accreditation system that delays or blocks careers
✅ The $12.7 billion economic loss caused by underemployment
✅ The human toll of seeing skills and potential go unused
✅Real stories from immigrants struggling to restart their careers
✅ What policy changes and solutions can fix this system
