In Canada, there is no such thing as “confirmation” of a diploma. Government-authorised organizations assess the compliance of the received foreign education with the Canadian one. If, in the opinion of this organization, the education received cannot be accepted by the immigration authorities, then the final report will indicate the level of education indicated in the foreign diploma, and in the line “Canadian equivalent” it will be written that this level of education either does not correspond to the Canadian one, or education received at an educational institution not recognized by Canada (if, for example, it was a private institution without state accreditation).

The answer is yes, you can work without a Canadian diploma. However, you will need to look at the specific requirements of the immigration program for which you intend to immigrate. A small number of provincial programs directly require a candidate to work in the profession according to their Canadian diploma.

If you receive permanent resident status in Canada, your spouse and all dependent family members (dependent children under 22 years of age) who are listed on your immigration forms when you apply for immigration will receive the same status with you.

To hire a foreign citizen, the employer must prove that there is no suitable specialist among locals, and this is a very time-consuming process. Employers prefer to take those who already have a work visa. That is why many people choose to come to the UK through training since there is a possibility of obtaining a work visa for a year or more afterwards.

This will allow you to get a very prestigious education, confirm your qualifications and get local experience. Immigration through studying at university remains the most reliable path to immigration at the moment.

You can only get a work visa if you already have an invitation from your employer. There are 2 main types of work permits: General Work Permit and Critical Skills Work Permit. The second permit refers to professions who are currently included on the list of in-demand professions in Ireland. As of April 2021, these are engineers, scientists, nurses, doctors, architects, financiers, project managers, IT specialists, marketers, designers and others. The main difference from the general work permit is that the employer does not need to prove that it was not possible to find a suitable candidate throughout the European Union for this position. It is forbidden to issue work permits for some professions, mainly low-skilled ones. These are nannies, cleaners, waiters, beauty salon workers, hotel managers, salespeople, social workers, psychotherapists, fitness instructors and others.

The specialists in demand are listed by the Irish government on the Critical Skills Occupations List, which changes from time to time. According to the government, these are the specialists that the country needs at the moment.

An in-demand speciality allows you to reduce the time and resources you need to find a job and helps with obtaining a work visa. But even if your profession is not in-demand, you can still apply for a work permit and visa.

After graduation, you will be able to stay in the country for 1-2 years to work. Immigration through studying at university remains the surest way to immigrate at the moment.

Choosing an unfamiliar subject is undesirable since it can be hard to find a job after training due to the lack of experience. Moreover, you will face problems obtaining a student visa.
