"The Labour Day announcement says the province has signed 10 agreements with provinces and territories to remove barriers to let workers come to Ontario to find work in over 50 "in-demand" professions, including engineers, architects and electricians. The province says under these agreements, Ontarians in these fields will also be able to find work in other provinces. As of Jan. 1, 2026, people working in regulated professions will be able to start working within 10 days of having their credentials confirmed by their regulator."
"This historic change to labour mobility will not only make it faster and easier for workers across Canada to come and begin working in our province, but it will also help us secure more of the valuable home-grown talent that our country needs to deliver on the nation-building projects that will make us the most competitive economy in the G7,"
Ontario will remove interprovincial barriers for workers in regulated professions to increase mobility across the country. Ten agreements with provinces and territories will allow workers to come to Ontario to seek work in over 50 in-demand professions, including engineers, architects and electricians. The agreements will also let Ontarians in those fields find work in other provinces. As of Jan. 1, 2026, people in regulated professions will be able to start working within 10 days of credential confirmation by their regulator. The previous process could require several months for registration. The agreements include reciprocal measures to facilitate nationwide movement.
