Professions requiring a license

[tortmaster]

Hello all, I need some help figuring this out. Do I fall under the NOC if my profession requires a license and I do not have a Canadian license but I am licensed where I currently reside? I fall under NOC 4112, I am licensed in the US but am not licensed in Canada and would not be able to practice there without getting a license first. I can work in some other capacity there while going through the licensing process so that would be okay but I wonder if I can claim that NOC since I am not licensed in Canada? I hope that makes sense. Thank you.

Lawyer and notaries? Yes - this would require licensing in Canada before you can work in this occupation.

Thank you, yes I know that it would require Canadian licensing before one can work. But does one need to be licensed before I could be granted PR based on this NOC? Thanks.

No. Apply under the NOC, as that is what you are and what your experience letters will say. You will have to prove you have funds to support yourself while you settle in Canada, and that will include time to get licensed as an attorney here.

Yes, you can use the NOC, it's an occupational classification, not a protected title.

Thank you all, I was getting discouraged. I appreciate it.
