Getting foreign credentials recognized

How regulated professionals and tradespeople approach licensing in Canada.

What to understand

Many professions and trades are regulated provincially. An immigration credential assessment does not automatically license you to practise.

What to prepare

Identify the regulatory body for your occupation in your province. Gather transcripts, licences and work references, and ask about bridging programs.

Important to know

Licensing can take time. Plan your finances and consider related roles while you complete the process.

Check the official requirements

Program rules, eligibility, fees and processing times may change. This guide is general information, not legal advice or a guarantee of any outcome. Check the current government instructions before applying.
