Yes, this is something every international student should be aware of before starting their academic journey in Canada. In fact, a lot of professors attested that international students are often unaware that academic integrity and fraud rules can differ from one country to another. To learn more on the subject, here are some resources that might interest you: An interesting website on the subject is www.plagiarism.org. You might want to keep an eye on the campus library workshops schedule. You will often find a seminar on the subject at the beginning of every semester. Credential Recognition A. Apprenticeship and Trades: The Apprenticeship and Occupational Certification branch which assesses certificates or licenses that are granted by a regulatory authority if they are in a trade or occupation that is similar in scope to any of the designated occupations in New Brunswick (PETL). For more information, please contact Marcel Richard, Manager, at [email protected]. For a full list of apprenticeship and occupational Certification supports, visit www.gnb.ca/post-secondary. B. Foreign Qualification Recognition: This pilot project is part of a provincial initiative aimed at creating several Foreign Qualification Recognition (FQR) Multi-Stakeholder Working Groups in New Brunswick from priority regulated professions starting with Finance and Accounting. The purpose is to look at the existing pathways for credential recognition and to work collaboratively to enhance the existing processes leading to clearer, more transparent and timely pathways to licensing for internationally trained newcomers trying to access the provincial workforce.

Only the permits that are in line with the guide’s topic will be listed below, which in this case are the study and work permits.
