Out of Jurisdiction Certification
To support labour mobility across Canada, WorkSafeBC recognizes certifications issued by approved training providers in other Canadian provinces and territories. This aligns with national agreements such as the New West Partnership Trade Agreement (NWPTA) and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), which promote the free movement of workers and recognition of professional credentials.
