The Canadian Regulatory Guide is a public directory of organizations designated by federal, provincial, and territorial governments to license professions and professionals in Canada. Their mandates are to protect the public by managing entry-to-practice criteria, overseeing and enforcing professional standards, and managing complaints, investigations, and disciplinary processes.
This guide enables the public to easily find a regulatory body in Canada to:
- Find professionals licensed by a Canadian regulatory body
- File a complaint against a regulated professional
- Find the outcome of a discipline decision.
The guide also provides general information about the sector and consumer protection in Canada. The information serves as a guide only and is not considered legal advice. Anyone seeking to file a complaint is advised to contact a regulatory body or seek legal advice
The Canadian Regulatory Guide was created by MDR Public Affairs Ltd., a firm that provides services to organizations that build safer, healthier, and greener communities. MDR Public Affairs also created RegulatoryJobs.ca, Canada’s site for employment opportunities in the regulatory sector, and The Registrar magazine, Canada’s consumer protection publication.
