Ah... sorry, I think you're going to need to be more specific, what occupation/NOC? Generally, a regulated occupation is one that you cannot lawfully work in without a license, so... Yeah, you kind of need to be on the right side of the law for CEC.

So, where do you get that it is a "regulated" occupation (like doctors and nurses?)

The only thing HRSDC says is that voluntary certification does exist. An employer can require that, but that does not mean it is "regulated."
