Working in Canada
Here are the different Job Specializations in Canada: Engineering is a regulated profession in Canada; it is illegal to practice as an engineer or to call oneself an "engineer" without being licensed as a full member in a provincial or territorial association. These associations are responsible for determining entry requirements and for issuing licenses to qualified individuals.
Trades Most trades in Canada are regulated and require provincial certification. In the case of Red Seal Trades, some provinces and territories have jointly agreed on certification standards.
Business Careers in business and finance are not regulated in Canadian legislation, but most require a bachelor's degree, advanced degree, or diploma in business administration or commerce, as well as eligibility for membership in a provincial association (i.e. association of chartered accountants, association of management consultants, etc.)
Teachers at both the elementary and secondary school levels are regulated in Canada. Requirements are determined by provincial and territorial regulatory bodies. In most cases, teachers will require a bachelor's degree and a provincial teaching certificate. Teaching at the college or university level is not regulated; recognition of credentials obtained outside of Canada is usually left to the discretion of the institution to which you are applying. Those wishing to teach at the post-secondary level will normally require one or more graduate degrees and a proven teaching and publishing record.
Health Entry into many health-related professions (doctors, nurses, dentists, chiropractors) is regulated in Canada. Requirements are set by each provincial and territorial medical, nursing, or similar association.
Science and Technology Such professions as biologist, botanist, zoologist, microbiologist, mathematician, and statistician are not regulated in Canada. Requirements for employment may vary; qualification requirements vary from one employer to another. Most employers will require a post-graduate degree. Membership in professional associations is available but voluntary. Geoscientists, geophysicists, and geologists are regulated, except in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the Yukon. Chemists are regulated in Quebec only.
Arts and Humanities Such professions as graphic designer, illustrator, conservator, curator, historian and the like are not regulated in Canada. Graphic Designer/Illustrator Law Entry into the legal profession is regulated by the rules and regulations of each provincial or territorial law society and by the laws of each province and territory.
The Skilled Worker Skilled Workers are economic migrants who are allowed entry into Canada as permanent residents as they are deemed to have the required profile and credentials to become economically established in Canada. How to Work in Canada 1. Look for a job

3. Process your papers Although it is usually difficult to obtain an Employment Authorization (work visa) in Canada, some people with special skills are given priority.
