The labor shortage in Quebec

Much is made in Quebec of the shortage of specialized labor, among others in engineering and medicine.

Chinese universities train millions of skilled professionals every year. The unemployment rate among young Chinese reaches 20%. It would seem sensible to me to facilitate the recruitment in China of competent young minds fresh from university who cannot find employment and who are greatly needed in our health system and in our cutting-edge industries to ensure the development of new expertise.

French medical faculties (Lorraine and Paris Cité) maintain exchange programs with medical schools in China, such as Jia Tong University in Shanghai. It does not seem utopian to me to foresee the Frenchification and rapid integration of young competent engineers currently unemployed in China.

China is no longer an underdeveloped country. Instead, it has become a world leader in several technological sectors and an incubator of young talents at the cutting edge of scientific knowledge. The Middle Kingdom may offer more than electric cars, semiconductors or Instagram. It sometimes takes ten years to adequately train an engineer or a specialist doctor, while just one year of French training and professional integration could be enough to train a newly graduated candidate in China to make him capable of filling a vacant position in Quebec in a highly specialized nerve sector.
