What is labour mobility? Labour mobility allows an individual certified for a specific occupation in one province or territory to be recognized for the same or matched certification in another province or territory without additional material training, experience, examinations or assessments. Encouraging recognition of matched certification across Canada benefits both workers and employers alike.

Matched Certificates / Non-Matched Equivalency
If certification from another jurisdiction has been deemed a match in the province of Ontario, TSSA will request that applicants fill out an application for certification as well as submit to non-material examinations.
TSSA will also honour a specific combination of certificates in some circumstances, where exact matches do not exist. Under such conditions, TSSA will request that applicants fill out an application for certification as well as submit to non-material examinations.
Please see the following table of matched certificates and non-matched equivalency:

Exceptions
Labour mobility does allow TSSA to maintain additional certification requirements for workers already certified elsewhere in Canada, if the requirements are deemed necessary to ensure the public is protected. Exceptions supported by the Ontario government will be posted on the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities website at http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/tcu/.
Challenges
If a province has concerns regarding standards in another jurisdiction, the government may support an exception to full labour mobility. However, exceptions may be challenged. Challenge procedures may be found on the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities website at http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/tcu/
