Canada

I don't disagree that we shouldn't compromise our standards, but a school based accreditation process doesn't allow for any sort of individual appeals process. (ie. Doctor "a", who is really talented, gets universally shafted because he comes from a school that was deemed "unfit", even though he himself could blow any of our accreditation tests out of the water)

Let the specialists come here and fast track an accreditation instead of saying "sorry...you school sucked, welcome to Tim Hortons."

It is the fault of their home countries that their schools don’t meet that standard.

We cannot and should never compromise high standards of education.

These two things are generally unrelated. Higher education institutions around the world don't have many incentives to get these accreditation stamps in the first place, and it's mostly bureaucracy, nothing to do with the actual standards of these institutions. My engineering degree was much, MUCH harder to get than it it would have been in Canada. The bar to graduate at my uni is way higher than the average university here - but in the end it's a pile of paperwork that no one cares to make it easier.

A friend of mine is finishing his 3 year journey towards his P Eng and it's insane to think that the quality of his education has anything to do with this, it's one of the best engineering schools of the continent.

And not being given the opportunity to prove that they have the education because of "professional" associations is the reason so many are working dead end jobs and we lack the people in educated positions.
