Finding out about regulated professions or tradesIn Québec, the practice of some trades and professions is regulated. For example, the engineering and nursing professions are governed by professional orders. These organisations, whose mission is to protect the public, have the authority to set admission conditions and practice standards, evaluate skills and diplomas, and issue a certificate or permit to qualified candidates. Other trades and professions are also subject to regulatory requirements with respect to their admission or practice. For instance, the trades of electrician, crane operator or gas worker are regulated by other regulatory bodies. This is also true for certain activities and disciplines in the financial sector, the teaching profession, and the heavy vehicle driver trade. Check before you leave to see if your trade or profession is governed by a regulatory body or subject to regulation. This will give you a preliminary idea of the conditions you will have to meet to practice it in Québec and of the steps you will have to take in order to present your file to the organization. This preparation will speed up your entry into the job market. Certain steps leading to the right to practise a regulated profession or trade
can be undertaken in your country of residence prior to your departure for
Québec. We encourage you to contact the regulatory body that governs
the practice of the profession you plan to practise in Québec as soon
as possible.
