Canada is working to recruit and retain health workers to address the workforce crisis in the sector. This is a shared priority between the Government of Canada and provinces and territories in the Working Together to Improve Health Care for Canadians Plan. The plan includes a Budget 2023 commitment of nearly $200 billion over ten years, with $46.2 billion in new funding for provinces and territories to improve healthcare services. Provinces and territories have also been asked to streamline foreign credential recognition for internationally educated health professionals and advance labour mobility, starting with multi-jurisdictional credential recognition for key health professionals.
