• W2355183825 abstract "This chapter examines the issue of immigrant accreditation barriers, as a form of credentialism, with a special focus on visible minority immigrants. It argues that credentials barriers are one of the key factors preventing immigrants of colour from access and equity in the labor market, which in turn is one of the primary sources of newcomers' dissatisfaction with living in Canada. And so, finding ways of improving access to the trades and professions in order to make the best use of the talent that comes to this country is the place where economic productivity and social progress converge. While over half of Canada’s 200,000 immigrants enter as independents or skilled immigrants each year, many find their university degrees and trade diplomas of little value. Upon arrival, these immigrants often encounter a variety of barriers that lead to their under-employment or unemployment – from exorbitantly expensive credential assessments and qualifying exams, to the various rules of the provincial bodies which regulate access to professions and trades through licensing and registration requirements, to the requirements of education institutions and the hiring and promotion rules of employers, to the Catch-22 demand for that unobtainable Canadian experience. The result is, a Canadian workplace environment where untapped talent-pools can lie dormant and ineffective, leading to a decline in social capital and in Canada’s overall economic well-being. The utilization of immigrant skills and Canada’s immigration program presents and ideal laboratory for exploring and identifying the issues surrounding Canadian multiculturalism in the context of increasing ethnocultural and racial diversity. I argue that the difficulty of striking a balance between well-established standards of professional competence, and anti-discriminatory employment practices is Canada’s most daunting 21st century challenge and requires an exceedingly collective imagination and dexterity. This challenge implies, as the labour force becomes increasingly composed of workers with foreign education and experience, an accurate understanding and evaluation of the skills, knowledge and experience plays a key role in enabling these workers to find jobs in which this preparation can be used to full advantage. It also suggests, until institutions and workplaces are broadened in their scope to embrace proportional representation of the multicultural mosaic, the search for political unity, social coherence, economic prosperity, and cultural enrichment will remain elusive. Introduction: The Contemporary Social Problem of Foreign Trained Professionals The issue of equity and fair practice in the contemporary Canadian workplace has a public intersect with the problem of the proper assessment and recognition of immigrants' foreign-acquired credentials. Foreign credentials barriers, or “credentialism” in an immigration context, can be defined as people not being able to get work for occupations they are qualified to the same extent as the natural born. However, a comprehensive understanding of foreign skills accreditation as a social problem, requires a focus on both a structural and racial nexus. As the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Employment Systems Review A Guide for the Federal Public Service, states: “credentials barriers (credentialism) may be found in educational requirements that are constrained by a practice of considering only recognized educational institutions, or that do not recognize knowledge and skills acquired through means" @default.
