Ontario, British Columbia, Newfoundland/Labrador, and New Brunswick are regulated provinces. Graduates from outside these provinces must meet all educational standards plus pass provincial certification examinations in order to practice in these provinces. Graduates receiving provincial certification in a regulated province may practice in another regulated province without writing the licensing exam provided they obtain acceptable professional development training in areas of possible insufficiency. (For example a therapist certified in Ontario would, at a minimum, have to complete acceptable training in BC’s laws, regulations and professional ethics in order to practice in BC). As these requirements are subject to change, the provincial regulating body should be consulted. All other provinces in Canada are unregulated and a massage therapist may work freely in these provinces. In the United States many states regulate massage and have a certification processes in place. Not all states in the United States are regulated. Students should inquire on a state by state basis.
