Professional Licensing in Canada
Professional Licensing for Internationally-Trained Practitioners (Canada)
How internationally-educated professionals get licensed to practise in Canada — nurses (NNAS + provincial college), international medical graduates (MCC/NAC-OSCE/CaRMS), pharmacists (PEBC), engineers (P.Eng), accountants (CPA) and lawyers (NCA), plus teacher certification.
Holding a degree from abroad is not the same as being licensed to practise in Canada. For regulated professions, an internationally-trained practitioner usually has to have their credentials assessed and meet a provincial regulator's requirements. These guides explain each field's licensing route.
Regulators, exams and fees are set by each body and province and change; confirm the current requirements on the official regulator's website. This is general information, not immigration or professional-registration advice.
