@ Toronto, I disagree with you. Credential assessment is recommneded by CIC itself and it has provided links to the various agencies depending on the profession. For instance for social work CIC listed Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) when it comes to cre assessment and regulation. Here is a link for the 29 occupations. I don't see how they change this just to suit their agenda. Knowing how incomprehensible Canadian immigration can be, one cannot put anything past JK! A link to occupational facts:
