Regulatory & Professional Disclaimer
Please read before enrolling:
-
Educational Credential: The Can-College Certificate in Home Inspection / Professional Certificate in AI-Enhanced Home Inspection is an educational credential. It confirms the successful completion of the academic and technical training outlined in the program curriculum. It is not a government-issued license to practice.
-
Ontario Regulations: Currently, the home inspection profession in Ontario is self-regulated. While the Ontario government passed the Home Inspection Act, 2017, it has not yet been proclaimed into force. Therefore, there is currently no mandatory provincial government license required to operate as a home inspector in Ontario.
-
Professional Associations & Designations: To maximize employability and client trust, graduates are strongly encouraged to join recognized industry associations, such as the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors (OAHI), the Canadian Association of Home & Property Inspectors (CAHPI), or Inter NACHI. Please note that earning specific professional designations (such as a Registered Home Inspector - RHI) may require additional steps beyond this educational program, including supervised field inspections, peer reviews, and background checks as dictated by the respective association.
-
Out-of-Province & International Applicants: Licensing and regulatory requirements for home inspectors vary significantly by jurisdiction. For example, provinces like British Columbia and Alberta strictly mandate government licensing. International and out-of-province applicants are solely responsible for verifying the specific licensing, certification, and business registration requirements in their local region prior to enrollment.

Note: Completion of this short-term certificate does not qualify international students for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) in Canada. Applicants are responsible for ensuring their current visa or visitor status allows for short-term study.

which is equivalent to a Canadian secondary school certificate due to
any reason, the college will still consider the student for admission to
its programs if the student passes a qualifying test that has been
approved by the Superintendent (The Ministry of Training, Colleges and
Universities Ontario).
