Hey, reading about the conditions of regulating a profession in BC.

https://www.welcomebc.ca/Work-or-Study-in-B-C/Job-profiles-for-immigrants/Biologists

"The College of Applied Biology of British Columbia (CAB) offers registration for biologists, and allows biologists to use the title of professional biologist. While registration by CAB is not required to work as a biologist in B.C., it is valuable to become certified as it provides formal recognition of your skills and experience to employers."

So it is NOT REQUIRED to registrate before applying for jobs? How is it then "regulated"? Can someone living in BC clear this out?

"To register as a professional biologist with the College of Applied Biology of British Columbia (CAB), you will need to have completed a bachelor of biology, or related biological sciences degree, and have a minimum of 3 years work experience in applied biology.
".

What in the case you dont have the experience?

"Biologists and Related Scientists are not regulated in Canada, except in British Columbia, where the title of "Professional Biologist" is protected. Where the profession is not regulated in Canada, requirements for employment may vary, and qualifications requirements are set by individual employers. However, most employers require postgraduate degrees in biology or a related discipline within the life sciences, and experience in post-doctoral research is usually required by academic departments or research institutions. Once you know where you will settle and work, you should contact the appropriate provincial/territorial body for additional information. "
