In order to work in Canada you are required to have a Social Insurance Number (SIN) .
Employers are now required to ask to see both a Social Insurance Number
(SIN card) and a Canadian status document (Canadian birth certificate,
Permanent Resident Card, Citizenship Card, work permit or study permit)
when they offer you a job. The Brantford Service Canada Centre
is where you can apply for Social Insurance Number and also provides
information about other services available to you.
Most jobs in Brantford will require you to speak English. English as a Second Language offers training in reading, writing and speaking English.
Foreign Credentials Referral Office
can help foreign-trained workers succeed in Canada. The Canadian
Government offers information about helping internationally trained
individuals find information required to get their credentials assessed
and recognized more quickly. Work in your profession
is another link that will provide you with information about the
Ontario provincial requirements for licensing and certification in your
regulated profession or trade.
