Canadian Industries Have a Problem and it’s not Tariffs - It’s Certificates

March 27, 2025

In an era of increasing compliance and security requirements, certificate management has become a significant headache for companies across Canada. From healthcare to construction and IT sectors, the need for valid certifications is crucial in maintaining operational integrity and ensuring public safety. According to a survey by Deloitte, a staggering 75% of Canadian organizations report facing challenges in tracking and managing certificates, often due to outdated systems and processes.


Industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation are particularly affected. The healthcare sector, for example, relies on professionals holding various certifications—from medical licenses to specialized training in advanced techniques. The Canadian Medical Association emphasizes, "The inability to manage credentials can jeopardize patient safety, leading to detrimental outcomes that can ripple through the healthcare system."


In the construction industry, the importance of safety training certifications cannot be overstated. A report from Statistics Canada revealed that unqualified workers contribute to over 30% of workplace injuries, highlighting the necessity for strict adherence to certification regulations. The President of the Canadian Labour Congress recently stated, "We must prioritize effective certificate management to protect our workers and ensure safety standards are met."


As these statistics and insights reveal, organizations must invest in effective certificate management solutions to mitigate risk. By enhancing their tracking systems, companies can streamline operations, safeguard employees, and comply with regulatory mandates, ultimately fostering a more secure working environment across Canada.
