Start Working in Your Profession or Trade in Ontario
Are you new to Ontario? Are you also educated or trained for your profession or trade outside of the province and would like to work here in this same profession or trade? If so, there are several organizations that can assist you with the accreditation process. We have provided links to them through our recommended websites on Accreditation for Foreign Trained Professionals. In order to protect public safety and health, many professions or trades are regulated in Ontario. However, many are also unregulated.
If you are a chartered account, this is one of the regulated professions in Ontario. You are welcome to attend a free library workshop especially for Internationally Educated Accountants from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 27, 2016. Come to the Discussion Room (next to the Writers' Room) on the 3rd floor of the Toronto Reference Library.
You will be provided with information on access to the accounting profession in Ontario, as well as learn about qualification and experience requirements, advanced standing options for foreign trained accounting professionals, and career opportunities. It's presented as part of our series of programs with Library Settlement Partnerships, a partnership with Citizen and Immigration Canada, the YMCA and Toronto Public Library.
Engineers are also regulated, so if you want to work in Canada you will need to get a license to do so. You are welcome to attend a free library workshop on Getting a Professional Engineering Licence in Canada from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 24, 2016. Come to the Hinton Learning Theatre (just opposite the elevators) on the 3rd floor of the Toronto Reference Library.
Engineer Ramadoss Srinivasan will be discussing his experience and offering tips for obtaining a professional engineering license in Canada.
We hope that you will soon be able to apply your skills in a field related to your training. Communities across Ontario can use your talents.

Yes I’m new in Ontario and I have 5 year marketing experience now you may you suggest me a company who will give me an opportunity?
Dear Logan,
thanks for reading the post. You may want to check one of the sites in this category of our recommended websites:

We are not able to recommend a particular company for you, I’m afraid, as this goes beyond our expertise and purview.
All the best with your job search.

Dear Logan,
I forgot to mention that you may also want to use Career Cruising, a service to which we subscribe and to which you have access remotely with an active Toronto Public Library card. You can find it by just entering “Career Cruising” in the search box on our homepage. Or, if you don’t have a TPL card, you can come into any branch and access it through a library computer, using the “Articles and Online Research” link.
This source has a “find jobs” section which you can search by “job/position”, as well as “location”.
Hope this helps.

This is a great list of resources. Is there one for truck drivers?
Dear Trucker,

As well, I just searching “truck driving” on our website, limiting to Adult English items, and sorting by date, and there is quite a list of resources which might be helpful to future truck drivers:

Hope this helps.

Dear Trucker,
sorry, but I just realized that the link to private schools that have ceased is no longer current.
Try this one instead from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. It’s under Private Career Colleges (PCC): Notices, Orders and Financial Penalties:
