As Canada’s healthcare sector continues to face labour shortages, the demand for qualified workers to fill vacancies continues to grow. The Government of Canada is taking decisive action to address these challenges by investing strategically in projects that will help provide internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs) with the support, training and experience they need to pursue opportunities in this high-demand sector. The Government of Canada announced funding of approximately $14.3 million for four new projects through the Foreign Credential Recognition Program (FCRP), each aimed at strengthening Canada’s healthcare workforce. These initiatives reflect a commitment to support the labour market integration of internationally trained professionals.
