Hello,

I am a new comer in Toronto and preparing myself to find a job. In general, do you recommend my foreign education credential to get assessed? Will it help me to find a job and does most employers in Canada look for this assessment?

Thank you in advance!

Personally I would suggest that you get your foreign education credentials assessed. It’s very helpful for employers. It will help them better assess your qualifications. It will also help you figure out if there is any kind of training you should be doing to get the kind of job you want.
