BRITISH COLUMBIA IS GROWING and people are coming from around the world to live in our beautiful province. With a growing population comes a need for more skilled professionals. Many people who come to live here have hard-earned credentials from their home countries, but sometimes it can be difficult for them to be recognized in B.C.
The credential recognition process for internationally trained professionals has been long and at times difficult and it’s time things changed. There are plenty of qualified professionals living right here in B.C. who are having difficulty living the life they have worked so hard to obtain and who have the skills to help strengthen our labour market.
That’s why this fall we’re introducing legislation to help regulatory bodies improve the international credential recognition process and make it easier for people to use their skills to work in B.C.
Everybody who comes to British Columbia deserves a fair chance at success and this new legislation will help internationally trained professionals coming to B.C. get positions in their fields more quickly and fairly. This also means that we’ll have more qualified people filling critical job openings and providing top quality services for British Columbians.
