How is the Government of Canada addressing FCR?
The FCR Program will work with partners to facilitate a fairer and more transparent transition for skilled immigrants in targeted occupations into the Canadian labour market, thus ensuring that Canadian employers have access to a broad pool of talented workers. Because of the various levels of government and range of professional organizations involved, the Government of Canada is taking a pan-Canadian approach to foreign credential recognition, which will help immigrants use their skills and credentials in all parts of the country. This approach will improve Canada’s standing internationally as a destination of choice for skilled immigrants, and will help Canada’s labour market function both effectively and efficiently.
