For sure. It would have to be done carefully. But professional orders shouldn't be purposefully protectionist for the sake of the job prospects of their members. If there are equivalent foreign credentials, they ought to be recognized. I think the US does a better job of this at least in respect of certain professions. Heck, you can go to law school at UofT and sit for the New York bar exam, no issues. The reverse? It's a much longer process -- about a year to take certain exams (con law, civ pro, crim pro) before you're eligible to sit for the bar in Ontario.
