VICTORIA — The British Columbia government has introduced legislation that is expected to add skilled workers into the labour force more quickly by reducing barriers for internationally trained professionals.
He says the legislation would require regulatory bodies to remove"unfair barriers" for 29 different professions, including veterinarians, lawyers, teachers, paramedics, early childhood educators, architects, natural resource professionals and others. Andrew Mercier, the minister of state for workforce development, says international professionals face unnecessary barriers, such as redundant language testing and a"catch-22" requirement for work experience in Canada prior to getting accreditation.
