Hello,
If I trained to be a barber in Indonesia, I am wondering how I could get my certification and experience recognized for an Ontario certificaiton of being a barber. Though I have worked as a barber in Ontario, I am hoping to do some teaching of haircutting at a community college but Ontario certification of my trade is needed.
Thank you.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your question and situation with us. I appreciate your interest in this information.

Haircutting is considered a trade that requires mandatory certification. You may find helpful information on apprenticeship and education options for Hairstyling on the Skilled Trades Ontario website. Finding work in a new country can be challenging, you may also want to connect with a settlement agency that provides employment services using our Services Near Me section.

It can help to connect with a community resource navigator at 211 to narrow your search. 211 Ontario is a free, confidential service. Their phone service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Here is a link to their live chat if you prefer to communicate online. Their live chat service is available Monday to Friday from 7am-9pm ET.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to post them here.

We hope this information is helpful.
