Let trained people use their skills
Accept skills that meet the same standard. Make tests, fees and appeals clear. Keep safety rules.
Our argument
People should be judged on what they can safely do. A licence from elsewhere should get a fair, prompt check. Where skills fall short, the path to fill the gap should be clear and no longer than needed.
What must change
Accept skills that meet the same standard. Make tests, fees and appeals clear. Keep safety rules.
What a win looks like
Qualified people reach work sooner, with sound skill checks and a fair appeal.
Public cost

Studies and notes
No case study is published here yet. This is the next question to check.
What we need to check
Compare tests, wait times, fees and appeals across jobs and provinces. Check safety outcomes too.
