01
What licenses do mobile clinics need in Canada?
To legally run a mobile clinic in Canada, you need two types of licenses: one for the business and one for the medical professionals inside. Your organization must be registered with the provincial government, like Service Alberta or the Manitoba Companies Office. And your staff, including doctors and nurses, must be licensed through their respective provincial colleges. For example, physicians in Alberta must be registered with the CPSA. These are your foundation. Without them, the rest won’t matter.

How do safety and infection control rules apply to mobile clinics?
Mobile clinics must meet both road and healthcare safety standards. Your vehicle needs to pass Transport Canada safety checks because it functions as a medical facility, not just a van. Then there's infection prevention. Clinics must follow strict hygiene protocols, including cleaning between every patient and handling medical waste safely. Patient privacy laws also apply. You need encrypted medical records and secure storage for physical files. Mobility doesn’t excuse non-compliance.
205
Where can a mobile clinic legally operate?
Even if you're licensed provincially, you still need local approval to operate. Some cities require a separate business license for mobile units or special event permits. Zoning laws also apply. You can’t park anywhere you want. If you’re on private property like a church or shopping center, you need written permission from the owner. This layer often trips up even experienced operators.
