GP MLA launches campaign on foreign credential recognition system

Mar 6, 2024 | 7:00 AM

The MLA for Grande Prairie is campaigning to get your feedback on the province’s foreign credential recognition system.

Nolan Dyck has launched Better for Newcomers to encourage discussion around Bill 203, tabled by Dyck in the Winter, which would create an Alberta Foreign Credential Advisory Committee to streamline the recognition system for newcomers.

Dyck says Bill 203 would help address labour challenges around health care, construction, manufacturing and more.

“Alberta has done some tremendous work when it comes to recognizing foreign credentials in a faster and better way, but I believe we can still do more. This is a critical issue, not just for newcomers, but for all Albertans, and our economy at large. I’m encouraging all Albertans who have an interest in this subject to visit BetterforNewcomers.ca and fill out a short survey on Bill 203 and Alberta’s foreign credential recognition system. Together, we can make the system even better for newcomers.
