Hi hayden, I completed my N.V.Q Level 3 in Childcare Learning and Development, just before arriving in Canada 6 months. When I arrived I found that my N.V.Q 3 is not valid here in Canada.
But you maybe able to get your qualification converted towards a Canadian qualification(there is a Fee for this) through IQAS.
Any coursework you completed for your course can go towards studying for a qualification here through (APL) Advanced Prior Learning.
As for jobs in childcare here, that depends on what type of setting (home, nursery, school) you wish to work in, and the province.
Don't give up the coursework, keep going at it, because things always change
Hope this was of some help to you!!!!!.
