Canada: Foreign Credentials Referral Office

Designed to help internationally trained individuals have their credentials assessed and recognized more quickly so they can work in Canada, the first phase of a new Foreign Credentials Referral Office (FCRO) launched May 24. “Too many newcomers can’t get jobs they have been trained for. That’s a terrible waste, for them and for the country.  Today, we are delivering on our commitment to do something about it,” said Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Diane Finley.
