Canada will fund expanded overseas foreign credential recognition services in China, India, the Philippines and the United Kingdom, Canadian Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism announced Thursday.
More skilled immigrants to Canada will be able to access the help needed to jump-start their credential recognition process through expanded overseas orientation services, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said in a press release.
"We want newcomers to be able to use their skills as soon as possible in Canada," said Kenney. "This funding will help them jump-start the credential recognition process before they arrive in Canada. It's good for them and good for the Canadian economy."
The Canadian Immigration Integration Project (CIIP), run by the Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC), will receive additional funding of 15 million dollars over the next three years to expand services in China, India and the Philippines. A new office will also open in London, United Kingdom, in the fall of 2011, which will also serve various Nordic and Arab states according to demand. FULL STORY
