Education Credentials: Citizenship And Immigration

Small Business Owners Dept: Employers' qualms about hiring workers trained abroad revolved around the challenges of evaluating their education credentials, their language skills and their work experience, the survey said, according to Montreal Gazette. The survey, conducted by Ekos Research Associates in March for Citizenship and Immigration Canada, involved telephone interviews with 519 small, medium and large companies and 15 business organizations. - About half of Canadian employers say their appetite for hiring foreigntrained workers is reduced because of difficulties assessing their abilities, according to an internal survey commissioned by the federal government. It also said interest in hiring foreign workers was lowest among small-business owners, who make up the bulk of Canada's employers, and highest among larger companies. As reported in the news.
