Queen’s Park has introduced legislation banning regulated professions from requiring Canadian work experience as part of eligibility requirements, and recognized PEO_HQ as the first association to remove the condition from its application criteria.
The government immediately recognized Professional Engineers Ontario as the first association to remove the condition from its application criteria.
“It’s an all-too-common experience: meeting a skilled newcomer trained as an engineer, doctor or accountant, working in a low-wage job that has nothing to do with their profession,” said McNaughton in a May 23 statement. “Our government has a plan to build a stronger Ontario that works for everyone, and we’re going to do it by unleashing the talent we have right here at home.
Meanwhile, studies have shown only a quarter of internationally trained immigrants in Ontario work in the regulated professions they trained for. One of the barriers that has prevented the professionals from registering in their profession has been Canadian work experience.
