Language Proficiency

Proof of English or French language skills via an approved test (IELTS, CELPIP for English; TEF, TCF for French). A minimum CLB 7 in all abilities is recommended for Express Entry.

Education & Trade Certification

An Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) from a designated organization (e.g., WES, IQAS) to verify your trade qualifications. You will also need to obtain a provincial/territorial Certificate of Qualification by passing the relevant trade examination.

Red Seal Certification

This trade is designated under the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program. Obtaining a Red Seal endorsement on your Certificate of Qualification allows you to work across all provinces and territories without additional examination. Red Seal is highly valued by Canadian employers and strengthens your immigration application. You can challenge the Red Seal examination through a provincial/territorial apprenticeship authority.
