D. The CVMA Certificate of Qualification
Candidates who successfully complete the NEB Examination are granted a Certificate of Qualification (CQ). Successful completion of the NEB Examination or receipt of a Certificate of Qualification is a prerequisite to apply for a general license to practice from any of the provincial veterinary licensing bodies of Canada.
Moreover, the licensing authority in any province may require further examinations in addition to or in lieu of those required to obtain a CQ. Applicants are reminded to consult with the licensing body in the province in which they wish to seek a license regarding applicable requirements. Applicants should also note that proof of graduation must be received by theNEBbefore a CQ will be issued.
E. Employment as a Veterinarian in Canada
The CVMA does not undertake to provide information on employment as a veterinarian in Canada or to act as an employment service. Individuals seeking employment are advised to review the classified section of the Canadian Veterinary Journal. In addition, most provincial associations publish a newsletter which contains advertisements for employment opportunities. In most cases, these newsletters can be obtained by writing to the provincial associations. Individuals who may be considering coming to Canada from another country and seeking employment as a veterinarian are advised that employment opportunities vary according to the type of practice in which the individual is interested and the specific region in Canada in which the individual wishes to locate. The CVMA and the NEB are not able to provide assurance of employment in Canada.
