Ottawa has announced that investments of more than $1.5 million will be made to

help foreign-trained healthcare professionals get their credentials assessed and recognized. The creation of an integrated platform will help them get important information and aid them in successfully integrating into Canada’s job market and communities.

This project aims to identify and provide solutions to the problems faced by immigrant healthcare professionals in getting their credentials recognized. This project will be assisted by the expansion of the National Newcomer Navigation Network by the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

 

Quote by Marie France Lalonde, Parliamentary Secretary to the Immigration Minister:

“CHEO has a proven track record of ensuring health and social service sector professionals have the knowledge and tools they need to provide equitable care and services to newcomers. We are pleased to continue working with the National Newcomer Navigation Network to support healthcare professionals educated abroad in securing jobs in Canada’s healthcare sector. These services will help more newcomers succeed, while also helping to build a better future for all Canadians.”

 

Last month, Saskatchewan had also announced the Labor Mobility and Fair Registration Practices Act that seeks to help employers in sectors like construction, IT, and healthcare fill jobs while providing credential recognition for foreign workers. The province is also looking to set up a Labor Mobility and Fair Registration Practices Office to provide help and assist regulatory bodies in meeting their obligations under the Act.
