Hi everyone, this is my first post! I am currently a student working for an orthotic company that employs mostly pedorthists. I am thinking about going into Chiropody.

Anyways, I have been searching high and low for the regulations/legal requirements, for manufacturing and modifying foot orthotics in Canada.
I live in Vancouver, B.C. and have come across one company (with 3 stores) that are selling custom orthotics, but it appears the man making them only has a pedorthic designation from the United States.
In another case, there was an asian chain of stores selling custom orthotics (pretty sure they had a grinder in the back as well), but the people fitting, dispensing, and modifying them didn't appear to have any qualifications.
Are there any regulations or requirements that are in place of who can make orthotics in Canada, seems like it's pretty unregulated. Any thoughts, input, or links are appreciated.
Tony
