16. Getting My Professional License
• Occupations related to the health, safety and well-being of
16
individuals are licensed by each province
• A license from a Provincial Regulatory Body is required before
you can work as a “professional”
• Initial requirements, cost and ease differ, among provinces
• Once obtained, licenses are usually recognized across Canada
• In many occupations, more than 50% of requirements can
be met from overseas
• Advice and support for licensure is available in most provinces
• Loans, bursaries and a Tuition Tax Credit to assist with the
costs of licensure and certification are available

person in your field, observing and learning from them
• An internship allows you to work in a structured temporary
position with an emphasis on on-the-job training

26. Workplace Norms
Status
• People do not have more
authority or respect because
of name, status, social class
or gender
• People are judged on merit
and expected to earn
their status
• Teamwork and
communication cut
across hierarchy
26
Behaviour
• Employees expected to speak,
share ideas, take initiative
and participate
• Employers may question the
sincerity of employees who
are too pleasing
• Greetings are informal and first
names are used but touching
is rare
• People line up and are served
in order
27. Workplace Norms
Values
• Higher value is placed on
accomplishing tasks than on
personal relationships
• Business relationships are not
always personal
• Preserving harmony and saving
face do not prevail
• Failure is not shameful
• Constructive criticism is viewed
positively
27
Directness
• Problem solving and conflict
resolution are essential skills
• Employees are expected to address
interpersonal issues directly and
in line with policies/procedures
• Employers discourage gossip
• Employees are expected to be
truthful and honest: it is fine to
say “no” if something is not
available or you cannot do
something as scheduled
