Reflecting on a Real Issue: "International Credential Recognition in BC"
Professional immigrants of various disciplines are hit alike by the hardship associated with their credential recognition in Canada, and Iranian Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals may not be exempted from this rule. Considering the negative socio-economic impacts of this hardship, and in concert with a number of other professional associations and stakeholders, the Iranian Engineers of BC Association (IEBCA) has engaged in a series of direct and roundtable conversations with the BC government to reflect on the issue and its possible solutions since 2021. Throughout this engagement, IEBCA has strived to voice out the lack of clear guidance and transparency and systemic bias in credential recognition of Iranian AEC professionals.
Now, as a next step to this engagement, a survey has been put up by the BC government to receive input from internationally trained professionals and the broader public in order to address the issue of “Foreign Credential Recognition”. Therefore, IEBCA would like to encourage its members, partners, and friends to visit this website and complete the survey, which is available in several languages, including English and Persian:
https://engage.gov.bc.ca/govtogetherbc/engagement/foreign-credential-recognition/.
Please also feel free to share the link with your professional friends and colleagues, as this can help enrich the results of the survey.
