Early childcare Educators (ECE) is a regulated profession in Canada. You would need to have your qualifications evaluated in order to work.

I don't know which Province you are considering, but you can find out more information on these links. The first one is useful as it tells you (further down) what international qualifications are recognised in each Province and how to register.

Online Guide to ECEC Credentialing - Search Results | CCHRSC

As an example:

British Columbia

The following credentials are accepted as equivalent:

United Kingdom: A National Nursery Education Board (NNEB) is considered equivalent to the requirements for licensure as an ECE and Infant/Toddler Educator; a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 3 or higher is considered equivalent to the requirements for licensure as an Assistant
