Sahota and the Government of Canada -- reportedly recognized as an international leader in the settlement and integration of newcomers -- are consulting on how best to help newcomers get their credentials recognized to enable them gain their first Canadian work experience and put their education and skills to work sooner in Canada.

Patty Hajdu,  MP for
 Thunder Bay-Superior North and Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour launched a Call for Concepts (CFC) under the Foreign Credential Recognition (FCR) Program.

FCR is the process of verifying that the education and job experience obtained in another country are equal to the standards established for Canadian workers.

​#The Government is seeking innovative and collaborative ideas from local organizations that address specific barriers to the integration of highly skilled newcomers into the Canadian labour market,” said Sahota. 

​
The total funding for CFCs, said Hajdu is up to $10 million, which will fund approximately 15 projects to help internationally trained newcomers, find and keep good, well-paying jobs, is part of our government’s plan to grow our economy and strengthen the middle class.
