Dr. Jeannette Janzen had been working as a family doctor in Quebec for three decades before she moved to Victoria in January 2019.
The process of getting a BC license to continue practicing was harrowing in and of itself, and it took Dr. Janzen 11 months to obtain a BC license, when the exact same process took a month and a half to complete in Alberta. Other doctors have noted the same delay and complication in simply gaining permission to practice here.
But the worst part of the experience was yet to come.
