A question for those who know about optical licensing. Can I as a non-citizen, un-licensed optician own or start a wholesale lab in Canada?? I realize that this may vary from one province to another.

You can't dispense without a liscence in Canada except in B.C. where anything seems to go.

Uncut is right. Most of the wholesale labs in Canada are foreign (Essilor) owned at this date.
Re: dispensing
What the laws say about dispensing and what is enforced are two completely different matters . So if you are thinking wholesale to the public from a lab then you have just entered the new gray market. As more B&M's collapse the labs will go direct .
The idea that you "can't" dispense in Canada without a license except in BC is somewhat incorrect, as so far BC is dispensing into the rest of Canada without proven license.

Jacqui....why not email me a price list and I would be glad to compare your products and pricing , as per here in Quebec. It would be refreshing to see a good independent lab open that had, what it takes to make ECP's happy...
