TO the Legislature of Ontario
Whereas Internationally Educated Professionals could make much greater contributions to Canada’s society and economy than they are currently allowed to make,
Whereas a lack of fair and timely recognition of their credentials is a key element in preventing them from making that contribution,
Whereas this lack of recognition imposes unfair and unnecessary burdens on these new Canadians and their families,
Whereas Bill 124, the “Fair Access to Regulated Professions Act, 2006” will not, as written, provide the access to credentials recognition needed by Internationally Educated Professionals,
Whereas the Legislature needs to substantially strengthen this bill.WE the undersigned petition the Legislature of Ontario as follows:-
To amend the bill in these eight areas:
1 Establish independent regulatory appeal tribunals to hear appeals to rejection of registration in a professional body . These tribunals to be adequately resourced for high quality reviews in a timely way.
2 Provide legal and professional advice to new Canadians seeking recognition of credentials. This includes provision of trained advocates, without charge to applicants, to present the cases of applicants before the regulatory appeal tribunal.
3 Name the regulated professions that are covered by the act in the act and give authority to allow the adding of more regulated professions in future.
4 Fully establish a “Fair Registration Practices Code” in the legislation.
5 Establish a department within the Access Centre established by the act which will evaluate the equivalence of standards between regulatory bodies and educational institutions in different countries and in Ontario. This data will be provided to regulatory bodies to assist them in determining equivalence of credentials.
6 Give the Minister, upon recommendation from the Fairness Commissioner, power to eliminate registration practices that are contrary to the Fair Registration Practices Code.
7 The Fairness Commissioner to report annually to the Legislature on the impact of this legislation on the employment of Internationally Educated Professionals and to report on the success rate of Internationally Educated Professionals applying for certification.
8 The Fairness Commissioner to be appointed by the Legislature.
