Regulatory authorities may impose certain requirements on a worker certified in another province or territory as a condition of certification. Examples of these requirements include:
- Paying an application fee or processing fee;
- Obtaining insurance, malpractice coverage or similar protection as may be appropriate;
- Posting bonds;
- Providing evidence of good character;
- Providing evidence that their current certification is in good standing;
- Undergoing a criminal background check;
- Demonstrating proficiency in either English or French, if they did not already meet an equivalent requirement in order to be certified in their province/territory of origin; and
- Demonstrating knowledge of the measures maintained by the receiving province or territory applicable to the practice of the occupation (e.g., jurisprudence exam).
The Best Practice Checklist for Certifying Labour Mobility Applicants was developed as a guide to assist regulatory authorities in better understanding what they can ask of labour mobility applicants.
