On July 1, 2024, British Columbia enacted the International Credentials Recognition Act (ICRA), facilitating a smoother path forward for internationally trained professionals to work in their chosen fields.
The Act increases fairness, efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the credential recognition process. It mandates 18 regulatory bodies, including ASTTBC, to eliminate barriers in 29 professions, expediting and simplifying credential recognition for qualified professionals, regardless of where they were trained.
