Get your credentials assessed in Canada
You’ll need to have your credentials assessed if you:

  • immigrate to Canada as a Federal Skilled Worker
  • come to Canada to work in a certain profession or trade
  • come to Canada to study
Credentials you got outside Canada will need to be assessed, such as:

  • education
  • work experience
  • professional credentials
Having your credentials assessed will help you:

  • show employers what you are qualified for
  • understand the types of jobs for you might be qualified for
  • see if your credentials are equal to the standards set for Canadian workers
  • find out if you need more training, education or Canadian work experience
You can start the process to get your credentials assessed and recognized before you arrive in Canada. This takes time and costs money.

To immigrate as a Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)
To apply to the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), you must get Educational Credential Assessments (ECAs). This includes any of your completed foreign educational credentials, such as a:

  • diploma
  • certificate
  • foreign degree
  • other proof of your credential
We use ECAs to see if your credentials are valid and equal to a completed credential in Canada.

You’ll also need to have your skills and training assessed to work in certain jobs in Canada.

To work in some jobs in Canada, including certain trades
No matter which type of job you’re looking for, make sure you have the language skills needed. Even if you have the language skills you need to immigrate to Canada, those skills may not be strong enough to work in the job you want to have.

There are two types of jobs in Canada:

  • regulated
  • non-regulated
Regulated jobs, including trades
Regulated jobs are controlled by provincial, territorial, and sometimes federal laws. They are governed by a regulatory body or apprenticeship authority.

Regulated jobs are also called:

  • professions
  • skilled trades
  • apprenticeable trades
They include jobs such as:

  • architects
  • plumbers
  • engineers
These jobs are regulated to:

  • protect public health and safety
  • make sure people working in these jobs are qualified
About 20 per cent of jobs in Canada are regulated.

In Canada, some provinces and territories regulate some jobs and trades while others do not. If you have a licence to work in a province or territory, it may not be accepted in others.

Find out more about how to get your credentials assessed to work in Canada.

Regulatory bodies
A regulatory body usually assesses credential recognition. Check with the regulatory body or other group for your job to find out if you need to be assessed. They can tell you which credential assessment agency you should use.

You can find out how to contact your regulatory body on Job Bank. You can also check their website to find out more about:

  • fees
  • licensing
  • eligibility
  • the process to get your credentials recognized
Working in a regulated job in Canada
To work in a regulated job and use a regulated title, you must:

  • have a licence or certificate or
  • be registered with the regulatory body for your job in the province or territory where you want to work
Each regulated job has its own requirements for getting a licence or certificate. Requirements for entry can be different between provinces and territories, but they usually include:

  • having your training and skills assessed against the job’s standards
    • this is done by comparing your training with the training provided by Canadian colleges and universities
    • you’ll need to show your original academic transcripts and other related documents, such as university course descriptions
  • having your language and communication skills tested
  • written exams, an interview or both
  • a specified period of supervised work experience
You’ll be evaluated on your own merits. Don’t compare your experience to someone else’s. Understand the requirements as they apply to your own case in the province or territory where you plan to work.

Trades
If you want to work in a trade, visit Red Seal for more details about the training, skills and experience you’ll need to meet.

Trades include jobs such as:

  • bakers
  • carpenters
  • electricians
As a tradesperson, you may be eligible to immigrate through the Federal Skilled Trades Program.

Non-regulated occupations
Some employers need job applicants to be registered or certified by the relevant professional association. Having your credentials assessed and recognized helps Canadian employers understand what you’re qualified for.

Job requirements can vary greatly between employers. Be prepared to prove that you have the education or experience to do the job. You may have to:

  • show a certain level of skill and competence
  • have a certain amount of education
  • have personal traits that suit the job
A credential assessment agency can assess your educational credentials for a fee. You may include this information in your résumé or curriculum vitæ (CV).

Find out more about how to get your credentials assessed to work in Canada

To study
If you plan to study in Canada, you’ll need to have your educational credentials assessed.

Some post-secondary schools can do the assessment. In other cases you’ll need to go to an assessment agency.

Contact the post-secondary school you want to go to in Canada to find out what kind of assessment they need and accept. Then, contact the assessment agency recommended by the school you want to attend, if needed.

Assessment agencies:

  • charge a fee for their services
  • don’t guarantee they will recognize your qualifications for:
    • getting accepted to study again in a Canadian post-secondary school
    • employment or certification/licensing purposes in Canada
  • make assessments that explain your academic background to:
    • employers
    • post-secondary institutions
    • professional bodies
  • compare your academic credentials with similar ones in Canada’s post-secondary educational system
There are separate processes for having your educational credentials recognized for:

  • immigrating to Canada as a Federal Skilled Worker
  • qualifying to work in a certain job (including getting a license)
  • finding a job
When you are talking about immigration in Canada, these words have certain meanings:

Credentials refer to

  • degrees, diplomas, and certificates that you earned as part of your formal education
  • any document that states you are qualified to work in a certain job, such as
    • licence
    • certificate
    • registration
Qualifications refers to your combined

  • credentials
  • knowledge
  • skills and
  • work experience
These will show if you are qualified to perform a certain job.

Competencies refer to things that you have learned. They include

  • a skill or set of skills
  • level of knowledge
  • conduct and practice
  • ethical, legal, communication behavioural norms for a specific occupation.

Hi.
Congrats on receiving your PR.

I landed in Canada last year as PR (from India), and have written some posts in various threads on how to find jobs in Canada once here.

The biggest glitch in getting a job offer before being here is your phone number! No one really says this, but unless you have a Canadian phone number the employer/recruiter can reach you at, it gets really difficult for your resume to be picked.

For that, I'll suggest you make a list of all the jobs you find suited to your skills. Make a list. Don't Apply now!
Why so? Because your phone number is international, your current city is somewhere in your home country, and your LinkedIn profile also has no indication of you being in Canada. This will actually hamper your chances if you apply. If you apply before landing here, you are effectively killing your chances of being considered by a company. As a professional, this hurts in the long run since all the companies have applicant tracking software that keep your information in their database for nearly 6 months. In my personal experience, even an update doesn't help with these software.

Once you are here, you update your resume with the current address and phone number. As long as you are in Canada, the chances of your resume being picked get exponentially high.

I also arrived here as a couple. So I understand your apprehensions. But if you are under FSW category, I take you for being experienced in some field already. Feb is a good month, and hiring activity is good. In the meantime, focus your energies on tailoring your resume as per Canadian standards. You may seek help from this article:

If you are from an IT background (I am not), check out these jobs that pay the most in Canada today:

https://www.inteqna.com/blog/top-it-jobs-canada-2018

By default, go through Stats Canada website everyday. If you are looking for any kind of full-time work, consider it your holy grail. Check out which provinces are experiencing growth in employment rates, and which are flattening. By the time you are here, you'll be a pro in understanding economic trends in Canada. Such info helps a lot during interviews too.

I am new to this portal but I have written extensively over the past month on ways to find jobs in Canada as a new PR. You may check my other content if it helps you.

Wish you the best for your future.
