Your credentials may not be recognized

Education and work experience that you obtained in another country may not be equivalent to the standards established for Canadian professions and trades. You need to know how your credentials compare with those of someone trained in Canada for a similar job and the steps you need to take to qualify to work in Canada. This will help you better prepare to come to Canada and find a job.
