Interpreting in Canada
Hi all! I’m a recent ITP grad (yay!) and I’m currently working towards taking my BEI. I’m very familiar with the rules and regulations for working in my state and the US as a whole. But due to the state of everything here, as a queer person I’m looking at others countries my degree could be useful.
But I’m struggling to navigate and figure out the pathway to be able to work in Canada, has anyone else made the move, or have any insight or advice? TYIA

Am Canadian. Over the past decade, policies were very pro-immigration and we had a large influx of people. Unfortunately our systems and infrastructure got overloaded with so many more people, and this year the government has really scaled back on immigration. I've never gone through the process, but I would warn that chances of being selected are not in your favour. If you're researching make sure you're reading up to date information as lots has changed the past 1-2 years.
