Would you be so kind to give some advice about my intention to work in Ontario .
I am Bulgarian legal specialist with 20 years legal practice- four years as a lawyer and 16 years as a notary.I am fluent in English ,Russian and Bulgarian, I can understand Macedonian language
My wife is Canadian citizen , we live so far in Bulgaria for the last 18 years but we have plans to emigrate in Canada .Our two kids are also Canadian citizens .
How can I get recognition of my legal education and what are my chances to find work with my education in Northwest part of Ontario ?
I would be thankful for any kind of information .
With respect Alexandar

Hello Alexandar,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
It is great that you are looking into this type of information before you arrive.
You mentioned that your wife and children are Canadian Citizens.
Since your own status was not mentioned, we wanted to make sure that you were aware that in most cases you must either be a permanent resident, Canadian citizen or have a work permit in order to work in Canada.
Regarding getting your credentials evaluated for employment, you can find some helpful information in our Settlement.Org Where can I get my international credentials evaluated for employment? article.
However, once you arrive, you may want to connect with the nearest employment service. You can find some helpful information in these Settlement.Org What are bridging programs for internationally-trained professionals and tradespeople? article.
In terms of finding information regarding your profession, you can also find some helpful information in our Settlement.Org Where can I find labour market information on the internet? article.
There are some links to different companies on the Industry Canada website.
For information specific to your field, including some information related to salaries and cities where there are positions available, you use the Job Bank website. This website used to be called the Working in Canada tool/website. It is very useful because you can search by specific terminology related to your field to find listings and positions available in Canada.
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that you will find employment in your field upon arrival in Ontario.
However, once you arrive, you may want to connect with the nearest employment service. You can find some helpful information in these Settlement.Org What are bridging programs for internationally-trained professionals and tradespeople? and What employment services are available in my community? articles.
You can also find some listings of settlement and employment agencies in our Services Near Me section.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

Hello Sergio,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You mentioned that you want to work in Ontario.
It is unclear if you have already received permanent residency.
If you are looking for information on getting a work permit to work in Ontario, you may want to first look into this type of information in our Settlement.Org How do I come to Canada as a temporary foreign worker? article.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
