Before you search for jobs in Canada, you should find out if the type of work you want to do requires a professional licence or certification.

You can use the Foreign Credential Recognition Tool to learn:
- If the occupation is regulated.
- The time and cost to get your credentials recognized.
- If there are available jobs in your field, or alternative jobs you could work in while you wait for the review of your credentials.

If you have obtained a degree in another country, you will need to get it assessed to verify if your education is recognized in Canada.
