YOUR CERTIFICATIONS VS CANADA
Endless Certifications. PMP, PMC, SCRUM, COREN, PAP? (Okay JK! There’s nothing like PAP or is there? lol)
I know you thought piling up those certifications would give you an edge in the Canadian Job Market. But Newsflash! One of the biggest challenges you might face is figuring out how your foreign certifications stack up against Canadian standards. Sometimes, you may have to trash those certifications you worked so hard for and start from scratch.
Scary? I know.
But it’s not all gloom and sadness here. One thing I love about Canada is that it values skilled immigrants. You can be sure that you will find great opportunities if your skills are in demand. However, navigating the system can be tricky.

If you’ve been winging it with your resume and portfolios, it’s time to stop ‘cos honestly, that approach is penny wise, pound foolish.
What if I told you that you could increase your interview callback rate by a whopping 70% with this resource I found?
