Canada's New France, Quebec, vowed a new action plan by investing 130 million dollars for the settlement of newcomers.
Quebec’s new immigration minister has announced this to tackle the problem of new immigrants settlement related to their fields. Hence, the new immigrant Minister Jean Boulet has decided to pump $130 million for the settlement of newcomers.
On December 7, 2021, he announced that the provincial government was going to fill the chronic labor shortage by welcoming foreign nationals. The money will be spent for the development of projects like
“Our government is firmly committed to addressing the labor shortage in all regions of Quebec. Immigration is part of a set of solutions to help us get there. For several years, we have too often witnessed cases of professional immigrants, unable to work in their field of expertise, for lack of recognition of their professional skills. This is simply unacceptable, particularly in the current context where the difficulty of recruiting staff affects the growth of our economy and essential public services. With these new measures, immigrants will be able to practice their profession more quickly and will use their skills to serve the prosperity of Quebec," Boulet said in French. |
New Action Plan
The new action plan includes action in six primary areas:
Quebec spends some of its funding on to drive the diverse talent pools from different countries.
The regulatory bodies and other orders are encouraged to improve the skills evaluation, develop training, and issues temporary work permits to a few workers in order to practice their profession.
Provides support services to offer and assist for specific skill recognition measures—persons who have access to services all through the complete immigration process.
Immigrants will have access for training, internships from overseas and in Quebec to increase skills recognition.
Candidates can benefit from specific financial support for refresher training, plus tuition fee exemptions.
Quebec employers will have access to an online tool to measure the foreign diploma according to the Quebec school system.
The provincial government is hoping for the success of these plans, resulting in an immigrant settlement in Quebec.
