Hello There,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

Many professions and trades, including counselling psychology, are considered regulated professions in Ontario. There are still [alternative career choices](https://settlement.org/alternative-jobs/teacher/) for those looking to stay in their field. You may also wish to look through [Settlement.Org articles on job listings](https://settlement.org/ontario/employment/find-a-job/job-listings/) as you continue your search for work as a nurse or physicians assistance.

For support in this process, it may be a good idea to seek the advice of an employment counsellor at a settlement agency. You can find [services near you for employment services here](https://settlement.org/findhelp/ontario/).

If you are in Ontario, it may also help to connect with a community resource navigator at 211 to narrow your search. [211 Ontario](https://211ontario.ca/) is a free, confidential service. Their phone service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. [Here](https://211ontario.ca/chat/) is a link to their live chat if you prefer to communicate online. Their live chat service is available Monday to Friday from 7am-9pm ET.

We hope this information is helpful. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to post them [here](https://discuss.settlement.org/default.aspx).

Sincerely,

Your [Settlement.Org](http://Settlement.Org) Team
