Recognition of Foreign Professional Qualifications:
Individuals who want to come to Canada to settle permanently and wish to enter the labor force should identify the value of the education, training and experience they have acquired in their home country.
The qualifications they have need to be reviewed in order to obtain assessment and recognition of their qualifications at the appropriate provincial, territorial or federal level.
The professional and trade certifying bodies of each province assess applications for certification on the education and work experience of the applicant earned outside Canada. This depends on whether one wishes to enter an occupation or pursue further studies, or whether their chosen occupation is regulated or non-regulated and the province in which they intend to settle.
If an Occupation is regulated, the appropriate provincial or territorial body will determine the recognition of qualifications whereas for the non-regulated occupation, recognition is normally at the discretion of the employer.
