Licence and scope first
Put your provincial licence and registration number in your summary or a credentials section near the top, with the class if your province uses one (Part A in Ontario, for example). Then show your scope: injections, prescribing for minor ailments, and other expanded services, because these vary by province and employers want staff who already deliver them.
If you trained outside Canada
State where you are in the licensing process: the PEBC Evaluating Exam and Qualifying Exam, any bridging program, and your provincial registration status. Until you are licensed, roles such as pharmacy assistant or intern can give you Canadian experience; list them with your responsibilities.
