SUMMARY - Recognition of Foreign Credentials
Newcomers arrive with credentialsâdegrees, diplomas, professional licenses, years of experienceâthat may not be recognized in Canada. The doctor drives a taxi; the engineer works in a warehouse; the teacher can't teach. This waste of human capital harms newcomers who can't practice their professions, harms Canada which loses their contributions, and contradicts immigration systems that selected people partly based on credentials not recognized after arrival.
