Reskilling in Canada

Reskilling means moving to a different occupation, and it usually requires a formal credential plus a plan for income during study.

Plan the income gap

Work out how you will cover living costs during training before you enrol. Some programs consider living allowances.

Pick approved programs

Funding is often tied to designated or approved programs. Confirm status before paying anything.

Stage the move

Entering a field at an assistant or apprentice level and upgrading later is often faster than waiting for a long credential.

This guide is general information only. You may qualify for some, all or none of the programs described. Eligibility varies, official government requirements apply, funding is not guaranteed and IMMPILOT is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government.
