Canada is home to some of the best doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals in the world. However, the health sector is a demanding field with challenging working conditions. These workforce challenges are not only affecting the hard-working healthcare workers we rely on but also patients, who are experiencing long wait times for surgeries, emergency room closures, and difficulties accessing family healthcare services.

As Canada’s healthcare sector continues to face labour shortages, the demand for qualified workers to fill vacancies continues to grow. The Government of Canada is taking decisive action to address these challenges by investing strategically in projects that will help provide internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs) with the support, training and experience they need to pursue opportunities in this high-demand sector. The Government of Canada announced funding of approximately $14.3 million for four new projects through the Foreign Credential Recognition Program (FCRP), each aimed at strengthening Canada’s healthcare workforce. These initiatives reflect a commitment to support the labour market integration of internationally trained professionals.
