Obtaining a real estate license in your province is not difficult if you know what to expect and can fulfill the requirements. How you get a real estate license will vary from province to province, but will usually involve minimum age requirements, certain education and/or experience requirements, applications and fees, and other details. So you must be sure that you know the relevant information from your province.

In most provinces, a minimum requirement to joining a real estate brokerage as a sales agent is to have already earned a real estate license. In some provinces, however, a new agent may need to obtain a sponsoring brokerage prior to pursuing a license. Licensing requirements typically involve coursework and passing tests (Some provinces may also require that you be a high-school graduate or hold an equivalency diploma). You can check with your province to find the names of licensing schools near you. Some provinces also require post-licensing coursework after you earn your license; and most provinces require continuing education throughout your career to keep your license active.
