What is the labour mobility legislation?

The Ontario Labour Mobility Act became law in December of 2009. Labour mobility refers to the revised Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) signed by the federal, provincial and territorial governments to make it easier for professionals and tradespeople, investment and goods to move across the country.

Under the terms of labour mobility, professionals and tradespeople certified in one Canadian jurisdiction will be considered to have met the requirements for certification in other Canadian jurisdictions without having to undergo material additional training or assessment or meet additional experience requirements.
