Good day everyone, I have a criminal record from Ontario which includes three counts of assault and one theft under 5000 and one fail to comply with order and fail to attend court in 2023. I wasn't sentenced to jail. Can I get an AMVIC license in Alberta and an FCAA licence in Saskatchewan? I plan on applying to car dealerships for sales associate roles in where I live but I'm worried that my criminal record will stand in the way. Can salespersons in alberta and Saskatchewan tell me their experiences?

Good day everyone, I'm based in Lloydminster and I'm still waiting for a work permit to come through. But the issue is that I have a criminal record due to uncontrollable circumstances so big businesses are off the table. My long term plan after I get my pardon is to become an insurance broker in Saskatchewan, but in the mean time I'm compiling a list of small businesses and business which are likely to not ask for a criminal record check. I'm trying to be optimistic because mentors in my community eg my probation officer said that there are places in the city which will give me a chance. To be specific I'm looking for non manual labor jobs and non kitchen work which is usually recommended for ex convicts but I think I can make it work. I'm thinking about applying for admin roles at oilfields and trucking companies as well as independent retail like hot peppers clothing and u bet yah. I'm looking for admin roles and customer service and retail roles. Chatgpt said there are about 1900 small businesses in Lloydminster and about 600 - 900 businesses fit my profile which is about 900 potential employers I can apply to. I used to run a business and I was a member of the chamber of commerce and on their website lists businesses that I can contact. Do I have some hope or am I being delusional? I have a university degree not a trades diploma so trades and manual labour is off the table for me. I really think I can make this work. Would people with experience with this let me know their thoughts?

Good day everyone, I'm an aspiring Insurance professional based in Saskatchewan and I needed some help understanding the different roles of Insurance brokers. From what I understand there are personal lines brokers, commercial lines brokers and account managers. From what I also understand there are also producers which do the main sales function in insurance which is what I'm trying to avoid. Can someone educate me on these different roles so that I have a better idea and also how far can I get with being bad at sales? A quick google said that in Saskatchewan at least you don't really need to be good at sales but I'm trying to hear thoughts from other insurance professionals in Canada or Saskatchewan preferably.
