Prepare for an assessment of your credentials and qualifications

Before leaving Canada to work abroad, you may wish to find out:

  • whether your intended occupation is regulated in your country of destination;
  • which organization in your country of destination is responsible for the recognition of your credentials and qualifications;
  • what is the procedure for obtaining a credential assessment for internationally trained individuals.

To obtain this information, you can contact the country's:

  • national information centre;*
  • ministry or department responsible for the labour market and employment;
  • regulatory body or professional association for your occupation.

WSE's Directory of International Labour-Mobility Resources provides contact information for some countries.
