Ontario Supporting Worker Mobility Across Canada

October 16, 2025

As part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario by building a more competitive and resilient economy, we will soon introduce legislation to support greater worker mobility across Canada. The proposed legislation, which will be introduced next week, will advance our government’s ongoing work to build a more united and resilient Canadian economy by expanding “As of Right” provisions for Canadian workers licensed and credentialed in other provinces and territories, particularly health-care workers, and move forward with automatic recognition of credentials for doctors and nurses from the rest of Canada.

The 16 additional health professions proposed for inclusion under the “As of Right” rules are:

1. Audiologists/Speech-Language Pathologists
2. Chiropodists
3. Dental Hygienists
4. Dental Technologists
5. Dentists
6. Denturists
7. Dietitians
8. Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists
9. Midwives
10. Occupational Therapists
11. Opticians
12. Optometrists
13. Pharmacists/Pharmacy Technicians
14. Physician Assistants
15. Physiotherapists
16. Psychologists
