It\u2019s a popular career choice that can lead you down many paths. All types of businesses need human resource (HR) professionals to assist with operations. With HR job prospects looking good over the next few years, it\u2019s a great career option for newcomers to Canada.&nbsp;Plus, human resource salaries can offer a good quality of life in Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many human resources jobs require a university degree or college diploma in human resources management or a related field (i.e., business administration, industrial relations, commerce, or psychology). Also, some employers may require you to hold a Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation. Prepare to continue your human resources career in Canada with this helpful overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-immigrate-to-canada-as-a-human-resources-professional\"><strong>How to Immigrate to Canada as a Human Resources Professional<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways to pursue a human resources career in Canada.&nbsp;Obtaining the CPHR designation can give you an advantage over other job candidates.

However, since human resources is not a regulated profession in Canada, you may be able to find an HR position when you arrive. The average human resource salary is attractive for many internationally experienced professionals looking to continue their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-before-you-move-to-canada-to-pursue-a-human-resources-career\"><strong>Before You Move to Canada to Pursue a Human Resources Career<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The more research you do before you arrive, the better your chances of finding a job in Canada.

HR is a non-regulated profession in Canada. However, some employers do ask for your credentials to be evaluated. Mostly though, they will give you a project to test you and consider your professional references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Some companies may request an education evaluation to assess your academic background. However, before you spend money, it\u2019s best to find out if the company you are applying to requires it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same rule applies if you plan to attend a college or university program to upgrade your skills. Contact the school you want to attend first to find out if you need an education evaluation and ask if they have a preferred provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to showcase your international education and skills. Try to build on your existing knowledge and skills and explore your options before you decide if you need further education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, your international credentials and experience may allow you to get advanced standing, transfer some of your credits or benefit from prior learning assessment options. This way you may be able to complete your program faster and without spending more money or repeating the education you already have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-credentials-assessment-services-nbsp-for-hr-professionals\"><strong>Credentials Assessment Services&nbsp;for HR Professionals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Credential recognition is a process to verify and assess a person\u2019s skills, competencies, and credentials in a fair and consistent manner.

Canadian employers put a high emphasis on soft skills. These are best described as attributes that enhance your interactions, job performance, and career prospects.
