Certificate of Qualification - Federal Skilled Trade Class

Interested to live and work in Canada via Federal Skilled Trade Class?  The first requirement is you must have an offer of employment in Canada or a certificate of qualification from a province or territory to ensure that applicants are “job ready” upon arrival.

Arguably, it is easier to get a Certificate of Qualification than to get an offer of employment.  And with a Certificate of Qualification, it would be easier to get an employment offer.  Thus, this Federal Skilled Trade Class program is highly dependent on getting your skills and experience recognized in Canada. 

Now, the question is this: How to get a Certificate of Qualification?

First, you need to decide which province you want to settle in.  Once decided, then check your options on how to get your skills and experience certified.
