Mark Your Calendars: Registration Renewal Opens 9 a.m. ET on February 14, 2025
Posted On: December 11, 2024
All registrants are responsible for renewing their annual registration by the deadline of 5:00 p.m. ET on March 31, 2025.
Renewal includes completing the online Information Return Form and paying your annual registration fee. Not renewing on time will result in additional fees and being sent a Notice of Intent to Suspend.
Fees for the 2025-26 registration year will be announced and be posted to our website by mid-January 2025. The announcement will include details about the Payment Plan Program, which will once again be offered to registrants who wish to pay their annual renewal fee in 10 installments rather than in one lump sum.
If you require an accommodation (e.g., due to a disability) to complete the annual renewal, your request along with supporting documentation must be received by 5:00 p.m. ET on March 3, 2025. To submit an accommodation request, see Registration Accommodation Request Form , in addition to the Health Professional Recommendation Form, which must be completed by a regulated health care professional. He/she must have, or have had, a patient/practitioner relation with you and must also be qualified to make an assessment of your condition and can speak for your need for accommodation.
Things to do now
- Insurance—Make sure your professional liability insurance (PLI) is always up to date to avoid being unnecessarily suspended and having to pay a reinstatement fee. If your PLI expires April 1st, consider starting the PLI renewal process early with your broker to avoid delays. Insurance providers must be licensed as an insurer with The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario – FSRA (formerly Financial Services Commissioner of Ontario) or a body outside of Ontario considered substantially equivalent to the FSRA.
- Currency information— Practise hours and activities are reviewed annually, and will be audited by the College to ensure registrants in the General class meet the minimum requirements as set out in section 6 of the Registration Regulation. To ensure you input accurate hours on your Information Return Form, we recommend gathering information about your 2024 practise hours now. For additional information regarding currency, including activities which may be included as part of practise hour reporting for registrants holding a General class certificate of registration, please refer to our Registration Policy, the Currency page of our website and consider attending our upcoming January 13, 2025 Regulatory Education Program session on Currency.
- CPR —Make sure your CPR certificate is up to date. Registrants in the General class must have valid, healthcare provider-level (HCP) CPR certification OR its equivalent which is currently Basic Life Support with AED (BLS with AED), renewed in-person every two years.
- Class change—If seeking to renew in a different class of registration, your class change request and supporting documentation must be submitted no later than 5 p.m. ET on March 14, 2025. The change of registration class application forms can be completed and submitted online on our website.
- Other changes—If you’ve moved, changed practice locations, or if any of your contact information has changed, you are responsible for logging into your account and updating your profile within 14 days of that change. Ensuring your information is up to date prior to renewal will make registration renewal a faster and easier process.
