Canada Budget 2025: Big wins for workers & newcomers!
The newly announced Canada Federal Budget 2025 puts the spotlight on skills, opportunity and fairness — especially for immigrants and internationally-trained professionals.
๐น $97 million over 5 years to speed up foreign credential recognition (think doctors, engineers, skilled workers) — no more waiting in the wings.
๐น $50 million investment in a national digital jobs & training platform that combines job listings, training modules and applications all in one stop.
๐น New refundable tax credit of up to $1,100/year for personal support workers (PSWs) in regions without wage-increase agreements.
๐น Stronger protections for workers — like limiting non-compete agreements, boosting apprenticeships and reskilling programmes.
If you’re a skilled immigrant, career shifter, or supporting talent into Canada’s workforce, this is a moment worth paying attention to.
