Canada brings in a whole slew of medical professionals. But provincial regulation often does not allow them to practice. Hence the doctor driving a taxi trope. Housing, also being a provincial matter, is another area where the provinces and Canada run disconnected.
For those not from Canada: The Canadian government and provincial governments operate independently, in parallel, taking different areas of concern. They are considered equals, so there is no means for one to supersede the other. While the areas of concern are clearly defined, reality often sees matters cross into both, so you get such strangeness when one hand wants to do one thing and the other hand wants to do something else.
