Foreign Credential Office
The Foreign Credentials Referral Office is a central source of authoritative information that makes finding out about the requirements for working in Canada, labour market trends and the job search process straightforward and easier.
The Foreign Credentials Referral Office provides information, path-finding and referral services to help foreign-trained workers succeed and put their skills to work in Canada more quickly.
The Office does this in the following ways:
On the Internet: Through the information and referrals on this website.
By telephone through Service Canada: 1 888 854 1805 or TTY 1-800-926-9105 (in Canada only). Callers are connected to an agent who will answer questions and provide referrals to important sources.
In person through Service Canada: To find the nearest Service Canada centre offering in-person information, path-finding and referral services, visit the Service Canada website.
Increasing support overseas: Through Citizenship and Immigration Canada, initiatives will be undertaken to provide prospective immigrants to Canada with the information, path-finding and referral services they need. Currently, via the Canadian Immigration Integration Project, orientation sessions are being offered in India, China and the Philippines to provide information on Foreign Credential Recognition processes and the Canadian labour market so that immigrants arriving to Canada are better prepared for work.
