The Office for International Credential Recognition’s first annual report is showing progress creating more opportunities for internationally trained professionals in B.C.

Employers and workers are reminded that on Sunday, June 1, 2025, B.C.’s general minimum wage increases from $17.40 to $17.85 an hour.

Premier David Eby has released the following statement marking International Women’s Day:

The Province has finalized regulations to provide fairness, minimum-wage measures and basic protections for app-based ride-hailing and delivery workers in British Columbia.  

Internationally educated professionals will soon have a more streamlined, efficient and transparent process to get their credentials recognized in B.C.

B.C. residents will soon have a quicker, less costly option to authenticate public documents for use in 125 countries, as a new method will launch in January 2024.

App-based ride-hailing and food-delivery gig workers will soon have better working conditions with new protections, including basic employment standards.

In advance of legislation this fall, the Province is holding a fair credentials town hall with internationally trained professionals, key organizations and advocates to talk about progress made on international credential recognition in health care and the work being done to expand to all sectors of the economy.
