Does a dealership general manager need specific licences or certifications in Canada?

Candidates should verify requirements for the province and the actual duties of the position rather than assume one credential covers every dealership management role across Canada. Check with the relevant provincial motor vehicle regulator or licensing authority about any registration, licensing or education requirements that apply. Ask the employer which credentials must be held before starting and which can be completed later. Keep regulatory requirements separate from optional professional development: a management course may be useful without replacing a required licence or registration.
