Rationale

Federal framework for recognizing foreign credentials in healthcare, engineering, and trades. Chain: credential_recognition -> healthcare_workforce_capacity (immediate) AND labour_mobility_index (delay 2) -> employment_rate (delay 4). Solves doctor shortage and labour mobility simultaneously.

Details

Epoch: 21

Domain: immigration

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $0.80B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): -$1.34B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • −$1.50B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via healthcare_wait_times
  • +$0.16B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via healthcare_wait_times

Causal effects: 3 downstream variables affected (2 immediate)

Divergence after: 60.045

Variable changes

  • credential_recognition_rate: 62 → 82

Proposed policy move

credential_recognition_rate: 62 → 82 (▲ 20)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
