According to the current Real Estate Brokerage Act, all real estate agents with a valid Certificate of Practice can work in residential real estate, commercial real estate or as a mortgage agent.
Under the next Act, which was passed in May 2008 but has not yet come into force, this situation may change since each “specialization” will require a different certificate. See the Real Estate Brokerage Act section for more details.
The vast majority of real estate agents are not salaried employees. They are self-employed and associated with a real estate broker (brokerage office).
That being said, internal statistics of the Collège de l'immobilier du Québec show: Those who study at the Collège « remain » in the profession and make a career of it.
