We've seen in the recent months before the COVID crisis that in a number of provinces, regions and communities across the country there is a need for expedited recognition of credentials of immigrants with valuable medical experience and qualifications, such as nurses, general practitioners, midwives, and so forth, and I assume that those requests remain today.
I know that the current protocols are set by federal and provincial professional associations in most cases, but is the department working with the provinces to address the needs of these very often small and remote communities?
