Why it matters
Why certification matters
It is a hiring requirement
Most Canadian cities want at least one certified food handler on shift wherever food is made. Many restaurants will not hire you without it.
It protects the public
About 1 in 8 Canadians get sick from food each year. Trained workers cut that risk a lot.
Valid for 5 years
In most provinces your certificate lasts five years. One exam covers you for a long time.
Fewer failed inspections
Places with certified staff are far more likely to pass health checks and far less likely to cause an outbreak.
