Hi britishguy,

thanks for your feedback..but please refer to below link...

http://www.cicnews.com/2007/04/assessment-foreign-education-training-canada-0447.html

where it says "For non-regulated occupations, there is no specific process for credential assessment. Given that it is up to the potential employer to decide if the applicant is qualified for the position, the process of skills assessment in non-regulated occupations is somewhat subjective. That being said, there are ways that you can help facilitate this process for you potential Canadian employers. Start by contacting the organization that represents your occupation in your home country. Then contact CICIC for information and advice about similar organizations in Canada. You should also consider contacting Canadian employers in your occupation to ask them about the qualifications they require when making hiring decisions."

as per the above information for non-regulated occupations, its up to the employer this is my understanding....

now i m bit confused..to go which way, please help...
