As Canada’s health care sector continues to face labour shortages, the demand for qualified workers to fill vacancies continues to grow. The Government of Canada recognizes these challenges and continues to take steps to address them by investing in projects that will help provide internationally educated professionals with the support and experience they need to pursue opportunities in Canada’s health care sector. To help with this, a call for proposals was announced in December 2022 resulting in an investment of up to $86 million in 15 projects for the Foreign Credentials Recognition (FCR) Program. The successful projects were eligible to receive a minimum of $500,000, up to a maximum of $10M in investments.
