In general, occupations in professions and trades who
have a direct impact on the safety of the public are
considered government regulated professions and
designated trades. If you intend to practice in a
regulated profession or a designated trade -- compulsory
certification class, then you must be licensed or
certified by the designated provincial professional or
trade association. Practicing without registration is
against the law!
Some examples of regulated professions in Alberta are:
doctors, veterinarians, engineers - geologists and
geophysicists, physiotherapists, pharmacists and
registered nurses.

registration requirements in all regulated occupations

In addition, certain trades and occupations are required
to be certified by Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry
Training - see list of
Trades and Occupations
If you are a foreign trained immigrant who intends to
practice in a regulated trade or profession you need to
know that your education credentials and work experience
will be evaluated by the provincial regulatory
association. Each regulatory association works under a
strict set of rules and each application is reviewed by
an examiner and a committee. All the people involved in
assessing educational and professional credentials are
practitioners in the occupation.
