Canada Requirements for Massage Therapists
In Canada, the provinces specify education requirements and regulations for massage therapists. Our massage therapy courses are accepted in most provinces.
You can check the licensing requirements for your province here, but always double-check with your provincial regulatory board for information (in case there have been any changes) as to regulations. You are responsible for knowing the laws that apply to you.
