Many jobs at Suncor — especially the trades — are regulated by the government. Trades require certification specific to the location where the job resides. As a result, Suncor only considers applicants who have the proper certification.

You may wish to get your credentials evaluated before applying for a job. The Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC) website has information on academic and occupational credentials for nearly 200 professions and trades. The centre does not grant equivalencies or assess credentials. It gives advice and refers people to sources of help.

Provincial assessment services assess academic credentials for a fee. The assessment will tell you how your education compares with educational standards in the province where you plan to work.
