Regulated and Non-Regulated
Professions in Canada
In Canada, about 20 percent of jobs are in occupations regulated by the provincial or territorial
governments. Through legislation and regulations, the provinces and territories give to
professions the authority to self-regulate in order to protect public health and safety, and to
ensure that professionals meet the required standards of practice and competence.
If you want to work in a regulated occupation and use a regulated title, you must have a license
or a certificate or be registered with the regulatory body for your occupation in the province or
territory where you plan to work.
Some fields where regulated occupations are commonly found include:
* health care
* financial services
* law and legal services
* engineering
