According to the enrollment counselor I spoke with at Athabasca University, HR is a hard field to break into in Canada. From what I understood from her, in order to do any type of management or supervisory HR work, you must have 2-3 years experience and be fully licensed, have a degree, and join the professional HR association. Whether or not your overseas experience counts towards this, I don't know. That may be up to the employer. I was just considering a degree, so it may be easier for you.ghie.george said:What is the minimum qualifications required to get an HR job in Canada, specifically in Toronto?
Hi! We'd be in a similar position soon.. My wife's a HR professional and she also has the same queries..Hi Folks,
I am a MBA - HR from India and has got 8+ yrs of experience after my post graduation. I am moving to Canada by end of this year or early next year with my husband and my daughter. As I have some time in hand before moving, I would like to do some course / certification in HR which can help me land a job soon, may be some online courses from Canadian Universities etc. I know it will not be a managerial position in the beginning but my be a recruiter / tech recruiter / HR generalist entry level job...
Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated. Also wanted to know if HR is a regulated profession in Canada?
