Federal government will put $90 million toward projects that remove barriers preventing qualified new Canadians from working in health care.

Minister of Immigration Sean Fraser says the federal government is calling for proposals for projects that offer Canadian work experience for internationally trained health professionals or streamline the process that recognizes international medical credentials.As the Canadian national soccer teams head to their respective FIFA World Cups, Derek Van Diest is on the scene to cover all the action.

Fraser, who took part virtually in a news conference in Charlottetown today, says there is a critical need for more health-care staff, particularly in Atlantic Canada. The minister says immigrants make up about a quarter of all health-care professionals in Canada, but 2020 reporting from Statistics Canada shows that about 47 per cent of skilled immigrants with health education are unemployed or underemployed.

To apply for a portion of the $90 million in available funding, organizations must submit project proposals by the end of January 2023.

Good idea 👍🏻 How about hiring back the thousands of HCW’s that have been fired as a result of the foolish mandates!!!! How many people know that BC is one of the few places on earth that has not re-hired the HacW’s that were fired.
