dc.description.abstractThis research thesis is concerned with the problem of the non-recognition or devaluation of the credentials of foreign professional immigrants in Canada. For decades, the Canadian government has admitted large numbers of highly skilled immigrants to support the growth and competitiveness of the Canadian economy. While it is an obvious fact that highly trained emigrants are persuaded to go to Canada where financial rewards are higher, the majority of these foreign professionals face systemic and structural barriers of not having their credentials recognized within the Canadian labor market, and as a result many are often forced into unskilled jobs to survive. The general aim of the thesis is to try and show that the non-recognition of foreign professional credentials in Canada is a serious socio-economic problem that needs urgent and continuous attention by various concerned stakeholders.
