Gateway for International Professionals
Unemployment and underemployment are common stories for international professionals.
Our Gateway for International Professionals programs help bridge the gap between education, experience, and employment.
International professionals often come to Canada with a breadth and depth of experience and credentials that simply aren’t recognized here. These programs accurately assess the skills of international professionals and provide them with the education and experience needed to succeed in the Canadian workplace at levels that correspond with their qualifications.
