How to answer if your profession ISN'T regulated?

[throwaway1103]

The wording of this question throws me off (I'm an American and native English speaker and somehow this is so confusing....)

Do you know if your primary occupation or trade is regulated?

I DO know my occupation isn't regulated (HR NOC 1223), so I would answer YES. Because YES, I KNOW. But then the dropdown doesn't apply to me- it wants to know what I've done to meet it.

If I answer NO, that feels wrong because I do know my occupation isn't regulated and answering no doesn't actually answer the question?

Or should I answer yes and put that I have education or something else? It's very confusing! They should have an option: my occupation isn't regulated to make it more clear.

What answer are you supposed to put if your occupation isn't regulated??

Thanks in advance for your help!

From what I understand the answer is if the occupation is regulated or not. Not exactly about your knowledge if it is regulated. So, selecting “no” seems appropriate.
