Registration

Your drug administration certification (DAC) becomes invalid until recertified.  You must not administer any drugs by injection or intranasal route immediately; otherwise, you will be engaging in authorized practice.  You must inform the College immediately to remove your DAC. 

Once you have obtained your first aid and CPR recertification, contact the Registration Department.  You may resume administering drugs by injection or intranasal route once you have successfully recertified your DAC.

It is up to a registrant whether or not they choose to renew and maintain their registration in the same registration class or transfer to Former  while on any type of leave of absence.  For complete details on the registration renewal requirements, refer to the College website.  If a registrant chooses not to renew their registration and decides to transfer to the “Former” category upon their next renewal, they can do so by logging into their eServices account to submit a transfer request online.  Click on Renew Registration > For

Place an order through eServices by clicking Events & Services > Online Store and then choose “Replacement of Registration Certificate”.  The College requires the original certificate to be returned to the College before a replacement certificate can be printed. However, if your certificate is lost, a notarized affidavit must be mailed to the College. The affidavit should state that you no longer possess the initial registration certificate you received because it is lost, and if the initial certificate is found, you must return one of the certificates to the College.

A Registration Certificate will be mailed to the mailing address in your eServices account approximately 8 weeks after completing your Full Registration.

A Certificate of Standing must be mailed or emailed directly from the regulatory body(ies) to the College office and dated no earlier than 3 months from the date the pre-registration application was received.  

If an applicant does not complete the requirements for full registration within 12 months from the date the pre-registration application was received, an updated certificate of standing is required.  Please refer to the Health Professions Act bylaws (Section 42(1.1)) on the College website. 

Place an order through eServices by clicking Events & Services  > Online Store and then choose “Certificate of Standing”.  When placing the order, enter instructions and/or the name and address of the regulatory authority where it needs to be sent in the “Order Instructions” field.  It takes 5-10 business days to process the order once received.
