Those education opportunities are obviously largely administered by the provinces.
One of the things we're trying to do, through the foreign credential referral program and an innovation fund that we've created, is to get people to assess, after their invitation for permanent residency in Canada, before they're landed here, their education and qualifications par rapport of the requirements of credentialling and licensing agencies in Canada. If they see they're falling short, perhaps they could go back and pick up supplementary education in their country of origin.
Another idea that's been floated would be for us to work with Canadian colleges that could set up abroad and provide training to Canadian standards. For instance, set up a Canadian nursing college in Manila, where we get a lot of applicants as nurses, to ensure there is a supplementary training program to reach Canadian nursing standards before they come to Canada so that they can practise as nurses immediately.
These are some of the things that I think we're all looking at in the context of the new program funding for foreign credential recognition.
