Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments are working hard to reduce or remove barriers to labour mobility in Canada. However, if certified workers have concerns about how their certification is being recognized in another province or territory, they should contact the Labour Mobility Coordinator for the province or territory where they are currently certified.
If you think that you may have been treated unfairly or if you have any concerns, the first step is to contact the Labour Mobility Coordinator of your province or territory. If initial discussions among parties concerned do not resolve the complaint or dispute, the Canadian Free Trade Agreement has a formal dispute resolution process which can be found in Chapter 10 (Dispute Resolution) of the agreement. Governments, individuals and the private sector can ultimately use this mechanism to resolve disputes in a cooperative and respectful way.
For past dispute resolutions, please see the Canadian Free Trade Agreement website.
Contact Form
Labour Mobility under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement does not cover workers who are not certified (i.e. apprentices, interns, articling or student categories) nor does it cover occupations that are not regulated. For more information about apprenticeship mobility please see the Provincial-Territorial Apprentice Mobility Protocol, under the FLMM Secretariat website.
Note that we cannot assist with:
- Job searches – please refer to Job Bank;
- Immigration – please refer to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada; or
- First time certification in Canada – please contact the regulatory authority for your occupation in the jurisdiction you want to work in.

Labour Mobility Coordinator Contacts
All federal, provincial and territorial governments have a Labour Mobility Coordinator who supports the implementation and adherence to the labour mobility provisions under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) within their jurisdiction. This can involve:
- addressing labour mobility questions and concerns from certified workers,
- working with regulatory authorities and other government ministries to support the recognition of out-of-province/territory certified workers where relevant, and
- assisting with the reconciliation of occupational standards across provinces and territories when needed to the extent possible and practical.
If you have any questions about the labour mobility provisions under the CFTA, please contact the Labour Mobility Coordinator in the province or territory where you are currently certified.
