British Columbia has introduced multiple pathways to help internationally trained healthcare professionals join its workforce. The province’s initiatives, like the Health Authority stream within the BC Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), support foreign-trained workers in fields such as nursing, healthcare assistance, and more by easing credential recognition and streamlining licensure. Programs include competency assessments through platforms like Inspire Global, specialized credential reviews, and permanent residency pathways for eligible workers already employed by BC health authorities. The International Credentials Recognition Act, expected to further reduce barriers, will also remove certain requirements such as additional language testing and Canadian work experience, starting in 2025.
