In fact, it is true - but in many cases, the real "issue" is one of language. There is usually a way to take some additional classes or exams to get around a qualification that isn't recognized (in Canada, or elsewhere) especially in a profession that is needed. But it's often the language issue that keeps immigrants from being able to pursue the "catch-up" process for a high-level profession.
