Your training has to meet Ontario’s standards. You need to have your training assessed when you are:

1) Getting licensed

To be licensed to work in Ontario, you need to meet the standards of your profession or trade. Many professions and trades set standards for their members. Some will assess your education for you. Others may accept assessments from other organizations.

You need to contact the regulating body for your trade or profession to find out about their standards. To get a complete list of regulating bodies, read Getting Licensed on this website.

2) Evaluating your education

If you need further education, you will need to have your education assessed. Learn more about Evaluating your educational credentials here.
