Employment
One of the first things you will be doing when you arrive in Canada, if not before hand, is seeking a position that suits your skills and experience provided your visa allows you to do so.Licensing and Registration
Many jobs in Canada require the appropriate licensing and / or registration. It is important to note that this is administered on a provincial level, not on federal level. Some occupations may require licensing in one province but not another.Compulsory trades are governed through Canada’s Red Seal program. This represents industry's recognition of an interprovincial standard of excellence for the skilled trades. Through the Program, apprentices who have completed their training and become certified journeypersons are able to obtain a Red Seal endorsement on their provincial or territorial Certificates of Qualification and Apprenticeship by successfully completing an interprovincial Red Seal examination .For more information, see Red Seal's website here.
Even if you or your partner are not required to have your professional qualification and certificates assessed as part of the visa application process, it is still a good idea to do so if they wish to work within their profession in Canada.
