We have had a number of projects funded by the federal government over the years. The first one was the From Consideration to Integration project, which was initiated in 2002. It brought together the stakeholders from academia, employers, and immigrant-serving agencies to make changes that would help to ensure the timely licensure of international engineering graduates.
From that initiative, there have been a number of additional spinoff projects. Some are specific for use by our provincial regulators in the licensing process—for example, an international institutions and degrees database that helps the assessment agents review the academic qualifications of new immigrants. We also have our labour market study, as I mentioned previously.
As well, in January of this year we launched our international engineering graduate roadmap website, which we call a one-stop shop that provides information to people thinking of coming to Canada and working in the engineering profession.
