Pre-Registration

The PTBP is no longer available  for pharmacy assistants to become registered in BC as a pharmacy technician.  To become a pharmacy technician in BC you will need to take the New Pharmacy Technician Graduate  path and successfully complete a CCAPP accredited pharmacy technician program offered through a public or private college: https://www.bcpharmacists.org/new-pt-graduate-canada.

Your online student registration application and notarized documents should be received by the College office no later than September 1, before the start of your first year in the pharmacy program.

Contact the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) to have your documents evaluated.  Visit the PEBC website (www.pebc.ca) for more information.

Documents in a language other than English must be translated by a certified translator.  Thus, documents that require notarization, should be notarized first and then translated.

Documents for your pre-registration and full registration applications should be uploaded through the online application modules unless otherwise instructed. Ensure documents are scanned in accordance with the College’s Scanning Guidelines and Checklist for Document Submissions. Fax will not be accepted.

Only a notary public or lawyer will be accepted for notarizing your documents.  Other professionals, including a Commissioner for Oaths, will not be accepted.

Use the following checklists to help you collect all requirement documents for your application:
