Proof of Canadian citizenship, the employer letter, the degree with transcripts, and the provincial licence certificate if relying on the licence branch. A foreign degree needs a credential evaluation. Carry originals or certified copies, not photographs.
Build the packet around one credential branch
Hypothetical example: The Engineer profession accepts a degree or a licence, so the packet should make clear which branch is being presented. If Priya leads with her mining-engineering degree, the diploma and official transcript are the core, and the P.Eng. certificate is supporting evidence of standing. If she leads with the licence, the current registration letter or certificate is the core and the degree becomes support. A degree earned outside Canada, Mexico or the United States needs an evaluation from a recognized credential service stating equivalence to a U.S. baccalaureate. The employer letter should name the profession as it appears in Appendix 2, describe the duties in engineering terms, state the salary and the intended period of stay, and identify the employer that pays her. Passport, proof of citizenship and the fee complete the set. A resume is useful but does not substitute for any of these.
Hypothetical example: Renée, a Canadian urban planner, has a redevelopment assignment with a U.S. municipality. The core file is an official degree record, a letter describing planning analysis and the engagement terms, and proof of citizenship. Her first review should reconcile the employer letter with the signed consulting scope, so dates, pay, work location, and duties tell one story. A résumé can explain experience, but it cannot repair an employer letter that omits the professional work or contradicts the contract.
