The Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) recently released, Strengthening Canada’s Economy – the Government of Canada 2011 Progress Report on Foreign Credential Recognition.
The report highlights progress made by CIC, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, Service Canada, and Health Canada to reduce the barriers to foreign credential recognition for internationally trained individuals. CIC and partner departments collaborated with the provinces, territories and key stakeholders to develop tools, processes and initiatives aimed at helping integrate newcomers into the labour market at a level commensurate with their education, skills and experience.
The medical laboratory technology profession was one of the targeted occupations in 2010, and is profiled in the report (PDF).
