Get information on your intended occupation outside Canada

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.

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