I got mine on the basis that I am self employed, but you don't have to be a geologist or prospector - I couldn't find gold in a jewelry store. You do need to be able to demonstrate that in your situation you are unable to protect yourself with a long gun, and be able to prove proficiency with a handgun.
 
for me, i would like to argue it's difficult to wade in a river with a rifle slumped over my shoulder while i'm fishing, but because i'm out there recreationally it's not a need...i guess. i'll get the prospector and atc out of principle
 
In order to become a CO you have to go to a college in I believe Lethbridge, Alberta. You also have to be one of the top students to get hired.
 
"taking photographs with the expectations to sell them to a magazine"

Ok this sounds interesting as I have a few nice pictures of wildlife.
Do I have to sell or give some to a magazine first?

"...protect me from confiscation..." Nope. If that ever happens, they'd likely tell you your boss has to provide any firearm used while working.
 
Canadian Gun Nutz should start an online magazine that publishes picture of wildlife and the great outdoors. To view this site you have to pay a registration fee of say, $50.00. You sign a contract to be a photographer and provide the site with photos for a salary of say. . . $45.00 per year ($5 for administration costs).

That way we have a business that requires photos and employs anyone who wants a reason to be an outdoor photographer, and have a reason to carry while in the wild.

crafty!

can't see why that, or a similar idea can't work. it's just a matter of meeting the standards of approval
 
First requirement to be a Federal Fishery Officer in B.C. is to be a a certified A$$hole. A tendency to be rude and be unable to use common sense. A certificate that your mom enrolled you in kindergarden helps but is not essential.

With those attributes and skill sets you will be issued a S&W 9MM, a pencil, a book of tickets and two free Tim Horton's Coffee cards.

Take Care
