Maria Hernandez, a recent immigrant from Colombia with a decade of experience in marketing, found herself frustrated with the Canadian job search. Despite possessing a strong skillset, her Colombian marketing degree wasn’t recognized by potential employers. This is a common challenge faced by newcomers – having valuable qualifications that require assessment for equivalency in the Canadian system. Resources like the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC) can be a game-changer, helping bridge this gap and pave the way for successful employment.
