TORONTO - Health-care professionals are still facing problems moving across borders within Canada more than two years after an agreement to eliminate those barriers.
The provinces agreed in 2008 to a deal that was supposed to make it easier for doctors to have their licences recognized in other provinces.
But some doctors say they are still having problems moving their accreditation from one province to another.
They say the colleges who are responsible for licensing doctors are not respecting the spirit of the provincial governments' agreement.
A spokeswoman for the Ontario College of Physicians denied that they don't respect the labour mobility laws.
Increased mobility for doctors is supposed to help provinces address physician shortages.
