Does the Office undertake credential assessments?
No. The provinces and territories have responsibility for assessments and recognition of credentials, as well as jurisdiction over the regulation of skilled trades and most professions. They have delegated to provincial regulatory bodies the authority to regulate and to determine licensing and certification requirements for most professions. However, the Government of Canada has an important role to play in ensuring that all people are able to use their talents, skills and resources to participate in the Canadian labour market.
