Foreign credentials referral services at Service Canada centres

In May 2007, the Government of Canada established the Foreign Credentials Referral Office to help internationally trained and educated individuals find authoritative and accurate information about the Canadian labour market and Canada’s credential assessment and recognition processes. Through in-person services, a dedicated toll-free number and an interactive website, the Foreign Credentials Referral Office is doing just that.

Listed below are the locations of the 320 Service Canada Centres across the country currently offering in-person FCRO services. Since the FCRO was established, work has been underway to offer these services across Canada.
