Free tools
- Not listed? Job Bank tool
A free Government of Canada tool that shows whether your occupation is regulated in your province and who regulates it.
Support and funding (loans you repay)
- Foreign credential recognition loans (Government of Canada)
A loan you repay, not a grant. Up to $30,000 for exam fees, training and tuition, through organisations such as Windmill (Canada-wide), Achēv (Ontario), ISANS (Atlantic), SEED (Manitoba), ISSofBC and PICS (BC). Terms and eligibility depend on your status; the page has a search tool for providers near you.
