Deal nears to recognize foreign credentials of immigrants

This article is addressing the importance of equality within job seeking immigrants. The federal government and the provinces are unveiling a major agreement to help foreign trained professionals get their credentials recognized by employers throughout Canada. The governments plan is aiming to have a system in place to start recognizing international credentials in eight occupations (registered nurses, engineers, financial auditors and accountants and much more) by next December. After these international credentials are recognized, the government plans to add another six occupations to this list for immigrants seeking these jobs to have a fair chance of receiving them rather than someone less experienced living in Canada being hired instead. Ottawa feels these are important new steps for improving the employment of professionals and feel this will have a positive effect on the work production throughout Canada.
