Preface
Anyone who understands the Canadian immigration system knows that Canada has always welcomed technical talents. It is particularly favored for those with education, good career background and high language skills. If you need to apply for skilled immigration to Canada, the first thing you know is the Canadian occupational classification NOC, the full name of National Occupational Classification. Clearly determining your career position is the most critical link in applying for Canadian immigration.
In this occupational system in Canada, some occupations require certification to work in Canada, such as teachers and lawyers. This certification problem has also stumped many of our friends who are interested in immigrating to Canada. In our past consultations, there are also some teachers or lawyers from China. The first question they asked is, what are the solutions for my career to immigrate to Canada?
Today I will give you a detailed look at how Chinese teachers and lawyers immigrate to Canada? First of all, let’s take a look at the basic situation of this profession in China and Canada, where is the difficulty of immigrating to Canada as a teacher and lawyer? What is the solution?
The basic background of this profession in China
In China, among the top ten popular industries, teachers and lawyers are definitely on the list. The former is very popular because of its stable treatment and guaranteed welfare; the latter, in a global perspective, can also be regarded as a "golden rice bowl". Of course, as a popular profession, if you want to become a teacher or a lawyer, you must first pass the teacher professional qualification certificate/lawyer practice certificate and take a series of exams.
In China, to become a teacher, the basic link is to get a Mandarin certificate – determine the stage and subject you choose to apply for – take the written test for the teacher qualification certificate – take the teacher qualification certificate interview. After obtaining a teacher qualification certificate, there are many ways to become a teacher, such as getting a teacher, becoming a contract teacher, or a substitute teacher, and some also choose to teach in private schools or education, etc.
Similarly, if you want to become a practicing lawyer in China, you have to overcome five obstacles and six generals. Pass the National Judicial Examination – Apply for Lawyer Professional Qualification Certificate – Find a Law Firm Internship – Pass the Training Examination – Obtain a Lawyer Practice Certificate.

Can choose immigration projects and the efforts made by applicants
In the Canadian immigration system, there are many federal and provincial government projects that can allow this type of talent to immigrate to Canada. In the
federal immigration program, you can choose the Federal Skilled Worker program in the Federal Express Entry. In the
provincial government projects, each province has employer guarantee projects. As long as the applicant's work experience is matched with the appropriate employer and position, they can usually complete immigration to Canada under relatively relaxed conditions.
Whether it is fast track or employer guarantee, technical immigrants are of course interested in the applicant's skills, and work experience, English level, and education level all need to be examined.
Take the federal skilled immigration program, the minimum applicant must meet the following conditions:
- has at least one year of continuous full-time work experience in the past 10 years, which can be NOC 0, A or B

- Through the Canadian government's screening of health status, background and safety,
province nomination employer guarantee, generally at least graduate from high school and English at the same time (IELTS reading 3.5, writing 4, listening 4.5 and speaking 4 points). Of course, the employer guarantee category in each province is different, and the requirements for different occupations are still somewhat different. Specific cases also require specific analysis.
