I think some of it is gatekeeping on the part of the profession but it also requires government approval and funding. A couple of universities here in Ontario who didn’t previously have medical schools have recently opened new ones so that will at least enable a few more students to get admitted. One in particular is focused on family medicine as we have such a dire shortage of primary care physicians (everyone wants to be a specialist).

Both of which are challenging for international admits too.
