Geoscience is a regulated profession in virtually all of Canada. In eleven of the thirteen provinces and territories, legislative acts restrict the practice of geoscience to individuals who are registered members of (and therefore licensed by) self-governing professional associations in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories & Nunavut, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. Currently, more than 7,600 geoscientists are licensed in Canada and this number is expected to reach 10,000 within two to three years.

CCPG does not license individual geoscientists. Individuals must become licensed by the appropriate professional association in the province or territory in which they practise.
