When I arrived to Canada, I had to take English as a second language and then another course that allowed getting a trade in order to obtain employment. The time factor was important because I was a young mother and had two young sons that had to support and send to school. If someone is planning to settle in foreign land, get as much information as possible upfront so the time is not wasted when settle in new ground. Your blog provides a lot of information in relation to what is required to become a useful citizen to a new country.

Thank you for having such a great blog!

Credential Evaluation for Immigrants in Canada

Before coming to Canada, it is important to have your academic documents (diploma, transcripts, and certificates) evaluated. As immigrants, you may need to evaluate your credentials for the following purposes:


1. Immigration, for skilled or economic categories
2. Employment
3. Licensing with Professional Association
4. Entry to Apprenticeship training programs
5. Higher education and/or Continuing Education.


Getting your credentials evaluated depends on whether you want to enter a regulated or not regulated occupation, or pursue continuing education. As a general rule, if your chosen occupation is regulated, the recognition of qualifications will be determined by the appropriate provincial or territorial regulatory body, while for a non-regulated occupation, recognition is normally at the discretion of the employer

You should be aware that the recognition process is different in each province and territory and for each profession/trade. It can be a costly and time-consuming process; so it is important that you obtain all the information you need to know about the process and specific requirements before undertaking an assessment.

There are several evaluation services that can help you in assessing your credentials:
