Regulated profession? Find your regulator early
First month · Home, children, work and language
Engineer, doctor, nurse, accountant or teacher? Licensing takes time — start early.
- Where to go
- The Professional licensing tab on this page, and the CICIC directory for other professions.
- What to bring
- Degrees and transcripts
- Proof of experience
- Your professional licence from home, if any
- What to do, step by step
- Choose your profession and province in the Professional licensing tab.
- Read the internationally trained pathway: assessment, language, exams and fees.
- Ask the regulator how your university must send your records.
- Meanwhile, work in a related field.
Note: an immigration credential assessment (ECA) is not a licence. Only the regulator decides.
