The re-accreditation challenges facing foreign-trained immigrants
are a sub-set of my long-standing research into the labour
market integration of immigrants. As part of my affiliation
as a Visiting Senior Research Scholar at Statistics Canada,
I have accessed census information on specific fields of training
that immigrants undertake and the occupations they hold. My
research, undertaken with other colleagues, looks at gaps
that can exist in training and jobs for foreign-trained immigrants,
with particular reference to those who studied engineering
and medicine.
