We've done quite a bit of work to find out why self-declared engineers haven't actually gone to get licensed. A big part of it is that they need to get a little bit of Canadian experience at least in order to understand the business culture. It doesn't have to be experience gained in Canada, but it needs to be a Canadian business culture type of experience.
We found when we did our study that the vast majority of immigrants moved to a location because of family or some sort of a community connection. Those aren't necessarily in locations where their particular set of skills is needed. I got a call from a marine engineer in Regina. We worked through it.
I know that for the last six or seven years annually we've had 5,500 engineers coming to our regulators' doorsteps to apply. The vast majority of them, something like 90%, get licensed. A lot of what we're seeing are people who haven't acquired licences because they didn't want to move to where the job was—away from their community and from their family—so they've chosen not to pursue the field, or they're not in fact engineers, or they don't know that they need to get licensed. One of the things we are trying to do is to make sure that people understand who they need to go to in order to get the process going.
