Foreign Credential Recognition in Canada: Building Understanding Through Design Thinking

This webinar offers career development professionals (CDPs) an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the critical challenges newcomers face when integrating into Canada’s labour market. Rooted in insights from LMIC’s research, the session highlights the systemic challenges within Canada’s Foreign Credential Recognition (FCR) system and gaps in labour market information (LMI) that affect newcomers’ integration into the workforce.

Through an empathy-driven Design Thinking activity, participants will actively engage with these challenges, gaining practical insights to better support clients on their foreign credential recognition journey. By the end of the session, participants will leave with actionable strategies to address these barriers within the scope of their current practice.
