Working in Canada
Before you immigrate, you should learn as much as possible about working
in Canada. Your preparations should include updating your résumé
and talking to friends, family, and potential employers about the job
situation in the part of Canada in which you wish to settle.
Read this section to find answers to some of your questions about finding
a job and working in Canada.
Note: There is no guarantee that you will find work in your preferred
occupation. You should know that, in order to work:
- you may need to have your credentials (degrees
and diplomas) assessed and recognized;
- you may have to be licensed;
- you may need to take additional courses;
- you may need to successfully complete examinations; or
- you may need to take a job-specific language test.
The immigration selection process does not require you to have
a credential assessment, nor recognition of your credentials and licensing.
But, they are important steps to help you find work in Canada.

Will I be able to work in Canada?
This section provides information on regulated and non-regulated
occupations.
Some professions and trades are regulated in Canada, which means
that you must be licensed to work in these occupations.
The provinces and territories have delegated authority to independent
regulatory bodies to set standards and requirements for licensing.

Will my degrees and diplomas be recognized
in Canada?
We advise you to have your credentials (degrees and diplomas) compared
to Canadian standards to see whether your skills will be transferable
to work in Canada. This is called an assessment of credentials. |

How can I find information on job openings
in Canada?
You need to understand the Canadian labour market to know if, and
where, there are jobs available and how to search for them.
“Job banks” (searchable databases) provide lists of
available jobs throughout Canada.
This section will help you to:
- increase your knowledge of the Canadian labour market;
- consider career prospects;
- search for available jobs in Canada.

Where in Canada will I have the best
chance of finding employment?
Conditions of employment are not the same throughout Canada. Each
province or territory sets its own conditions and standards of employment.
This section will help you find:
- information on the labour market in individual provinces and
territories;
- information on professions and trades in each province and territory.
