Credential & Language Assessment for Internationally Trained Professionals

Trying to gain a better understanding of how credential recognition works or determining what language level might be required for a particular job in your organization? You may find it helpful to visit these sites for more information about how these processes work and what it all means in the Canadian workplace: 
 

Canadian Language Benchmarks - an introduction and more detailed information on a standardized and widely recognized system of assessing language profciency. The Canadian Language Benchmark levels can be aligned to a particular role or opportunity within your organization. 

Settlement.org - a widely used website (by both internationally trained professionals and those working with this audience) with lots of information relating to settlement in Ontario including work permits, language training, legislation, service providers, etc. Much of this information is applicable across Canada.
