CanadaImmigrants.com Ontario Desk - Ontario, over the last decade, has more than doubled the number of international medical graduates obtaining a license to practise medicine. According to a report released yesterday by the Collegeof Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario CPSO , the number of practice certificates issued to international medical graduates IMGs in the past decade has increased 119 per cent. The number of certificates issued has risen from 5,013 in the 1990's to 10,982 certificates in the 2000's. The CPSO attributes this increase, in part, to more Ontario government funded residency positions reserved for IMGs. As part of the five year Open Ontario plan to create new opportunities for jobs and growth, the province will continue to ensure that internationally trained professionals, including IMGs, obtain the accreditation they need to contribute their valuable skills and talents to Ontario.
