An important factor is Canada's income tax rules cause most doctors to be in the highest possible tax bracket and loose a significant amount of income to taxes early in their careers. They take home quite a bit less for the same effort compared to other countries, especially the united states. This coupled with high costs of living and home ownership means there often needs to be factors outside of a good career to keep a doctor in Canada.
