Catholic Immigration Centre Of Ottawa: Skills Development

Doctors In Ottawa Dept: The Catholic Immigration Centre of Ottawa says the program cuts came in the most recent budgets for the Ontario and federal governments. But the need for training and skills development is still there, the centre says, with about 800 foreign-trained doctors in Ottawa alone who have not been licensed to practise in Canada, according to CBC. Farouq Samim is one of the most recent graduates of the program. Samim was a trauma doctor in Afghanistan who also recently completed a master's degree in Ottawa. Tough lessons to accept An Ottawa agency is helping foreign-trained doctors find jobs in the medical field after cuts to a government-run program that used to help the new immigrants transfer their skills to Canada's health-care system. Fareeq Samim has to support a family of five, which means he can't go back to complete almost a decade of education re-learning how to be a doctor.
