Jobs and Government

: At the same time, the budget announced the government also wants to help immigrants have safer and more reliable ways to send some of the income from those jobs to their home countries, according to Huffington Post Canada. The loan program dates back to the 2011 election campaign, when the Conservatives promised to do more to help internationally-trained workers find jobs in their field once they arrived in Canada. The budget announced that a pilot program launched three years ago to help internationally-trained people get their skills up to Canadian standards via small loans will become permanent in a bid to get newcomers better jobs. Or, as the Tories often put it, to ensure that doctors don't come to Canada and end up driving cabs. The loans provided by the government are allocated through community organizations and can be used for anything from covering tuition for training to the price for licensing exams — even child care if it means a person can go back to school to upgrade their skills to match Canadian standards. An often-cited problem was the fact that many immigrants didn’t have the financial means to take the exams or courses required by Canadian regulations and lacked credit history to get bank loans to cover the costs.
