Ontario breaks down interprovincial barriers for certified workers

Ontario is taking a historic step to strengthen Canada’s workforce by removing interprovincial barriers for in-demand professions, including architects, engineers, electricians, and more. Starting January 1, 2026, certified professionals from across Canada will be able to begin working in Ontario within 10 days of credential confirmation, a significant improvement over the current months-long process. This “As of Right” reform applies to over 50 regulatory authorities and 300 certifications, helping fill critical labour shortages while protecting worker safety. Ontario has already signed 10 agreements with other provinces and territories to expand mobility and opportunity for workers nationwide. By cutting red tape and streamlining recognition, the province is enabling faster access to good jobs, supporting businesses, and strengthening national unity. These measures ensure Ontario continues to lead in building a more competitive, dynamic, and unified Canadian economy.
