Canada Budget 2025: Big wins for workers & newcomers!

Author: Ann Arbour Consultants Inc. | Nov 05, 2025

The newly announced Canada Federal Budget 2025 puts the spotlight on skills, opportunity and fairness — especially for immigrants and internationally-trained professionals.

🔹 $97 million over 5 years to speed up foreign credential recognition (think doctors, engineers, skilled workers) — no more waiting in the wings.
🔹 $50 million investment in a national digital jobs & training platform that combines job listings, training modules and applications all in one stop.
🔹 New refundable tax credit of up to $1,100/year for personal support workers (PSWs) in regions without wage-increase agreements.
🔹 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.
