Ontario’s ‘long-overdue’ recognition of foreign credentials met with skepticism
The government is planning on finally recognizing foreign credentials of internationally-trained immigrants in Ontario. This would mean that newcomers would be able to practise their profession rather than be forced to take up unrelated, precarious employment, as has been the norm. But the move has been long overdue. So, why now?
Yesterday’s announcement by the Ontario government that barriers to foreign credential recognition would be removed was met with a healthy dose of skepticism from the journalists at the press conference and those who’ve been following this issue for decades.
Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development Monte McNaughton announced that if their proposed legislation is approved, by fall, internationally-trained immigrants would be able to practice their profession or trade.
