Abstract
n recent history, when recruiting abroad, Canada's immigration policies have focused on highly educated and financially established populations. 1 Applicants assume that because their education almost guarantees them Canadian entry, the job market needs their skills, and therefore, their credentials, earned outside Canada, will be recognized.Sadly, there is a disconnect between the federal government's recruitment criteria, the labour needs of the different provinces and territories, and the standards set by the selfregulated professions.In the last few years the federal government has been working with provincial governments to successfully target and recruit immigrants to fill provincial labour gaps. 2 Unfortunately, even though the various levels of government are working in concert for the common good, the bodies that set the criterion for entry into professional fields can unilaterally block governmental initiatives.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
