These competency requirements apply in Ontario and all other Canadian jurisdictions in which forestry is a regulated profession, except Quebec. This program will help Internationally Trained Foresters (ITF) and domestically trained foresters from non-accredited post-secondary institutions acquire the skills they need to practice professional forestry in Canada.
