Credentials assessment

[navneetgarg120]

Hi All,

In the mail from CIC I got PER and in that mail VO suggested to have my credentials assessed before I start looking to move to Canada.

I applied in NOC 2173 and my wife's NOC is 2121 and both these categories are regulated in Federal and require different license in every province. Is there a common license which is valid in all parts of Canada? As of now for every province there is a different regulatory body.

Also, I visited www.peo.on.ca for verification of my credentials but as per their website I had to take a course followed by an exam which is conducted in Canada only. Is there a way that I can take this course online and take exam anywhere in the world? It is difficult to study after arrival and after getting license I have to start for job search in my field.

I request senior members to comment on it. I am not sure what action I need to take for assessment of my credentials.

credential assessment is different from licence requirement. credential assessment will only assess your prior education against canadian standards. e.g. if you are bachelor of engg with 4 yrs education, agency will assess same thing against provincial stds.
PEng requirement is different than this.
Kindly elaborate your NOC details, everyone dont know every NOC details.

For example I'm a Nurse and I want to apply in Ontario... I will not go to College of Ontario but instead to the Foreign Credential Assessment, is that it?
