Once you have an idea whereabouts in Canada you want to settle, contact the agency that will carryout your educational assessment and follow their instructions. Once you know what your qualifications equate to you will have a good point from which to start. Then using the PROVINCIAL regulators find out exactly where you stand with regards your intended field of expertise. The International Credential Assessment Service (ICAS) in Ontario provides a service that evaluates educational documents to provide a Canadian equivalent that can be used for employment, immigration or further education. ICAS also has information and advisory services for all types and levels of education - elementary, secondary, postsecondary and technical. I would definitely recommend contacting them well in advance for some professional advice. You can find the contact details on our website "Job search" and "Ontario Immigration assistance" pages on our site.

If you only need to complete a few exams or courses to change over to the Canadian system then great, if not, make plans so that you can support yourselves during the time it takes to recertify. Also, try to make sure that there will be a good chance of employment available once you've qualified.

Definitely have a back up career chosen or identify anything you could easily cross over into as things rarely work out as you intend. If you read the "Our Story" page on our Canadian Immigration information website, you'll see that events transpired that meant my Plan A and Plan B both went wrong. Luckily some earlier research paid off and I managed to "the right job" within 6 weeks.

To close this article, DO NOT rely on your settling funds to last - I would thoroughly recommend working anywhere to start with - our budget gave us 6 months without work but in reality we'd have been in trouble in 4!!!! A servers or Bar job can be very lucrative but even $1,000 a month means that your money will last longer or help with retraining costs. My wife, Andie, worked in the local movie store almost straight away and apart from the money it means you meet people and start making contacts. As the saying goes "it's not what you know it's who you know".

Whatever you decide about your Canadian Immigration adventure, please ensure you fully research your employability - Onestopimmigration-canada.com is packed full of great FREE information about Canadian Immigration and if it's not on the site, there'll be a link to the relevant authority.

GOOD LUCK
