Foreign-Trained: Employment Minister Jason Kenney

Employment Minister Jason Kenney: Employment Minister Jason Kenney announced Thursday the government is giving $4 million to projects to speed up credential recognition in Canada, according to Huffington Post. In some instances, the project will allow foreign-trained nurses to start their assessment process before they even get to Canada, he said. EDMONTON - The federal government is trying to make it easier for foreign-trained nurses to have their credentials recognized by governing bodies. "We have too many foreign-trained nurses coming to Canada who end up working as hotel maids and too many foreign-trained physicians who end up driving cabs," Kenney said Thursday at a training facility at Edmonton's NorQuest College.
