Fair Registration Practices Office
For Internationally Educated Immigrants
Some professions are regulated in Manitoba. To practice a regulated profession, you must apply for registration with the appropriate regulatory body or regulator. A regulator is a government-approved organization that governs a profession. Regulators are responsible for ensuring their members are qualified to provide safe and competent practice to the public. They assess applicant qualifications and grant eligible individuals the legal authority to practice their profession in Manitoba.
The Fair Registration Practices Office works only with regulated professions (regulators) specified in The Fair Registration Practices in Regulated Professions Act. The office works collaboratively with regulators to help make sure internationally educated immigrants are treated and assessed fairly.
The office is not a regulator. Staff cannot assess qualifications or help individuals go through the registration process. It also cannot advocate, investigate, direct or influence a regulator to change or to reconsider a decision.
Individuals with fairness concerns are welcome to meet with the office to share their experience. The office may be able to offer useful information and practical advice.
Registration Information
In Manitoba, the following 31 self-regulated professions are under The Fair Registration Practices in Regulated Professions Act. Internationally educated professionals should contact the regulator for their profession directly to learn about the requirements for registration - the steps involved; application forms; a list of required documents; information on exams; fees; and other important information.
The links provided below are to each regulator’s registration information for internationally educated applicants.
