If you are inadmissible to Canada: You won’t allow entering the country, if you have a valid genuine reason to travel to Canada then the officer will be justified in the circumstances, they may issue you a temporary resident permit.

Penalties for driving while impaired: If you drive while impaired by drugs or alcohol then you will be inadmissible for a serious crime which means you won’t be able to enter Canada or stay unless they issue you a temporary resident permit. You will also have to pay the CAN $200 processing fee for the permit and still there is no guarantee that you will be allowed to enter or stay in Canada.

Get assessed by the province or territory

You will likely have to go to the province or territory to be assessed for your trade and you may also need an employer in Canada to give you training and experience. To learn more about getting assessed you should go to the website of the body that governs trades for the province where you would like to work and live but the process is different, depending on where you want to go. Each website has more details about qualifications and certificates to work in that territory in a specific skilled trade and what you have to do to get one.

If your trade is not regulated by a province that may be federally regulated for example (Airplane Mechanic) you can find out who regulates your trade by visiting the website of the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials
