Prepare yourself for immigration to Canada
Your application has just been received at visa office and some months will probably pass before you
know the final decision on your application. We nonetheless encourage you to use these months to gather
information on Canada.
One of your first steps should be to begin researching potential employment in Canada. Most occupations
in Canada are not regulated. For those occupations, the employer is responsible for assessing and
recognizing your qualifications.
However, some occupations are regulated and do not permit persons to practice without a license. To
obtain a license to practice a regulated occupation, you must go through an assessment and an acceptance
of your education and professional qualifications by a regulatory body. This assessment will compare
your training, education and experience to Canadian requirements. This assessment will also help
determine whether further training and evaluation may be needed before you acquire a license to practice
your occupation in Canada.
In partnership with Service Canada, the
Foreign Credentials Referral Office (FCRO) provides
information and referrals. You can find more information on the FCRO Web site at:
www.credentials.gc.ca. Clients in Canada can call 1-888-854-1805 or the Service Canada general
enquiries number at 1-800-O-Canada (1-800-622-6232) for more information. Clients in Canada can also
obtain in-person service at Service Canada Centers.
The
Going to Canada Internet site (at
www.directioncanada.gc.ca) has important information about living
and working in Canada as well as the “Working in Canada Tool” which will tell you what the current
prospects are for your occupation across Canada. It offers information on essential skills, job descriptions,
work conditions and opportunities. It will also tell you whether your occupation is a regulated profession
in Canada.
We trust that this information is helpful.
