A June article published by the Campus Safety Magazine explores a new trend of American doctors looking for new employment opportunities in Canada, a haven to call home and escape from the U.S President’s recent policies and restrictions to the healthcare administration. But why Canada? A report from the Medical Council of Canada tells its readers that a 750% spike of applications from U.S physicians is driven by on Canada’s merit-based medical system, a more stable political climate, and the absence of bureaucratic limitations along with the recent loosening of licensing requirements, which has made it easier to fast-track applications and start to work immediately.

The feature focuses on which parts of Canada have been most populated by U.S-trained health professionals, from Ontario (with over 50% of Americans doctors recorded in the first quarter of 2025 alone), British Columbia (with a surge in licensed physicians after Trump’s second election) to Quebec (with a rise in applications from both U.S doctors and Canadian physicians who studied in nearby areas).

This clearly reflects a deeper issue affecting the entire Republican system, which is no longer able to guarantee a fair and democratic structure in many areas. This is why Canada is now preparing to welcome doctors, but mostly a growing number of students and researchers who are frustrated by scholarship cuts and anti-immigration policies. The trend is confirmed by Nature, which claimed over 538 postgraduate researchers interviewed are planning to leave the U.S. The reason? The country’s tendency to erode rights and diminishing educational stability.
