If
you are coming to live and work in Canada, you must bring several
important documents with you. In addition to immigration documents,
it is important for you to bring evidence of your secondary school,
college, or university education. This may include degrees, diplomas,
and certificates, educational program descriptions, even detailed
course information. It will also be important for you to bring documents
that explain as fully as possible, your past work experience such
as job descriptions, records, performance evaluations, letters from
employers and work supervisors, resumes, and descriptions of training
that you may have had at work on in your community.
There
are many occupations in Canada for which people are required to
have Canadian licenses, registrations, and certificates. Many professions
and trades have special procedures that new Canadians must go through
before they can work in Canada. This can be difficult and it can
take a long time, because you may be required to undertake more
education before you are allowed to practice your profession or
trade here - even if there are skill shortages and even if you have
been practicing your occupation in your home country for a long
time. You can use this Document Information Tool to help you decide what documents you should bring with you to Canada. If you wish to have these documents translated before you come to Canada, you can use the services of Translations Canada, an on-line translations service, by clicking here. Below, click on the occupation you wish to practice in Canada and the province/territory in which you intend to live. Then click on "Display Document". Canadian organizations may have additional Canadian document requirements for you to complete once you arrive in Canada. The information contained in this Tool was current as of March 2004 and will be updated regularly. However, it is subject to change without notice. You should contact the organizations referenced in the reports to ensure you have the most up-to-date document information.
