Thanks to the very generous labour mobility laws in Canada, Provincially licensed real estate professionals are now able to transfer their credentials and work in other Provinces.  While each Province has their own process and requirements to do so, it is an amazing opportunity for Real Estate Agents to be able to relocated and not lose their licensing certifications and career.  Right now the most prominent trend to capitalize upon this ability to license and work inter-provincially is evident with the quick thinking and opportunistic REALTORS, Agents and Brokers from Ontario who are eyeing the booming Alberta real estate market. Ontario real estate agents who have for years been very successful selling construction and pre-construction projects across the GTA have found these projects... 04/25/2024
