A. License to Practice Veterinary Medicine in Canada

In Canada, legislative authority to regulate the practice of professions and trades is a provincial responsibility. In each province, a licensing body is established by statute. Licensing for veterinary medicine is the responsibility of the provincial veterinary association or a separate licensing body empowered by provincial legislation. While the general requirements to obtain a licence to practice veterinary medicine are similar, specific requirements, including examination requirements, differ from province to province. Individuals intending to apply for a license must correspond directly with the registrar of the licensing body of the province in which they wish to practice, in order to determine the relevant requirements.

The addresses of the licensing bodies in each of the ten provinces can be found here.
