The strike through texts are government regulated trade professions. One can land in jail if not Canadian licensed to practice such.
You may need a city and guilds certificate or a trade test certificate. Once it's confirmed that those certificates are equivalent, then the next requirement would be to sit for and pass a Canadian red seal trade exam.

So what do you suggest one should do?

yes i think Nigeria have some of those certifications too, but maybe could be accepted internationaly or one could simply do some futherance to his field of proffesion in Canada that's if there's provision for it.

You can learn any vocational skills like: Hair dressing, Beauty Therapy, Health care giver, Culinary art, Welding and fabrication, Electrical, Motor vehicle, Fashion designing, Plumbing, etc.
I will strongly advice that whatever vocation you chose to learn, make sure you are certified, particularly by an internationally recognized entity.
From experience, I always recommend City and Guilds of London Institute certification. It has certification programs covering all vocational skill you can think about and have been in existence for about 140 years...
