Do not assume it does. The immigration decision is separate from the requirements of the authority regulating the actual professional activity.
Check permission for the work itself
Identify the proposed duties and relevant jurisdiction, then verify the competent authority’s current requirements. This page does not declare a universal licensing rule or guarantee recognition of a Canadian credential.
What the program removes is the need for a labour-market test or a specific job offer as the basis of the petition, not the rest of immigration law. Licensing bodies generally run on their own timeline, separate from any immigration filing, so a credential review started early can prevent a bottleneck later. Contact the regulator for the intended occupation before the immigration case is filed, ask what documentation it requires, and find out whether a candidate may begin the credentialing process from abroad or must first be physically present. Distinguish between permission to work in a general sense and permission to practise a regulated occupation, since the two approvals come from different authorities and rarely move at the same pace. A sponsoring employer's job description should state plainly whether the actual duties require a licence to perform lawfully, not merely a preferred qualification, because that distinction affects both timing and the underlying immigration classification. Build the licensing timeline into the overall relocation plan rather than treating it as an afterthought once the immigration decision arrives.
