There is, but a lot of the problem lies with the professional 
associations. Since they exist to protect members' salaries, they make 
it hard for newcomers to get in.

There is a federal agency dealing with this professional prejudice, but 
there's a lot of work to be done. For instance, last year, PEO were 
still not recognizing non-Canadian professional engineering qualifications.

Suggestion for original poster: contact the local BCS chapter. There's 
an active one in Toronto. They are nice people.

cheers,
  Stewart
