Good afternoon, everyone. I'm happy to provide some thought.
There are some elements of the application system for internationally trained health care workers. It is difficult to navigate. There can be some aspects of the labour market impact assessment that create a barrier. We could work more effectively with the licensing bodies and their counterparts in the countries that people are immigrating from, and we can also make it easier for people once they arrive in Canada.
As an immigrant myself, I can tell you that the application process and getting into the country did not match my experience when I got here. Helping people to settle in the country and be able to access those roles as quickly and effectively as possible, and making sure that those licensing requirements are all dealt with before people get into the country are ways that the federal government can help.
There are some quite straightforward elements to that that can be addressed quite quickly.
