Some regulatory bodies or professional associations in Canada have negotiated mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) with other organizations outside Canada. In some cases, such MRAs are negotiated directly between two or more countries or regions.

If you already hold a licence, certificate, or registration with such an organization outside Canada or work in a signatory country or region, this could facilitate the recognition of your professional qualifications in Canada.

Use the Directory of Occupational Profiles to locate the issuing country of your professional qualifications and get information on MRAs for your occupation.
