JUNE 2021 INTERNATIONAL AND NON-ACCREDITED PROGRAMS 1

INTRODUCTION This guide is intended for individuals with a minimum of a professional master’s degree in

audiology or speech-language pathology who have graduated or will be graduating from:

1. A Canadian university program in audiology or speech-language pathology that has not been accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Canadian University Programs

in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CACUP-ASLP) or 2. A university program in audiology or speech-language pathology offered outside of

Canada.

This guide breaks down the application process, emphasizing the requirements that individuals who have graduated or will be graduating from a non-accredited Canadian or an international

professional master’s degree program in audiology or speech-language pathology must meet,

and the steps required to become a registrant of the College.

Before beginning, it is important that you decide where you wish to live and work in Canada

before applying for registration in Canada because each provincial audiology and speech-

language pathology regulator in Canada may have different requirements for becoming

registered. CASLPO is the regulatory body for the province of Ontario.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE YOU APPLY:

1. Becoming a registrant of College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) is a legal requirement for anyone who wishes to practise audiology

or speech-language pathology in Ontario.

2. Only registrants of the College may use the professional titles (e.g., audiologist,

speech-language pathologist, speech therapist), any variations (e.g., Audiology

Candidate), or abbreviations of the protected titles (e.g., SLP) and hold themselves out as qualified to practise in Ontario.

3. The College is a self-regulatory body. This means that the College’s Council, a combination of elected registered professionals, academics, and representatives of the

public have the authority to set and enforce standards for the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology in Ontario

4. The College is responsible for ensuring that everyone who is registered is qualified.

5. The College will assess applications in accordance with the requirements outlined in

Ontario Regulation 21/12.

6. The College views unauthorized practice very seriously. Failure to register is a significant offence and can result in disciplinary action and/or fines.

CHECKING THE STATUS OF YOUR APPLICATION

We will provide you with a timeline for when to expect to hear the results of a review. Please

• there has been a change to your application

• you have new contact information

• you would like to withdraw your application

• it is past the deadline you were provided with

Otherwise, please trust that we will email you

regarding each step of your application process.

There are many applicants to the College throughout

the year, and additional calls and emails slow down

the review process for you and everyone else.

If you do need to contact the College about a change to your application, please contact

CASLPO’s International Applications Coordinator by phone number at 416-975-5347

TYPES OF REGISTRATION

The applicant must meet all the registration requirements, both exemptible and non-

exemptible, posted in Ontario Regulation 21/12 for the type of certificate of registration that

they wish to hold.

Ontario Regulation 21/12 can be seen at:

https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/120021#BK30

CASLPO offers the following types of certificates of registration:

To apply for a general certificate of registration the applicant must have

1. provided 750 hours of patient care or related work in audiology or speech-language

pathology within the previous three years, and

2. successfully passed the CETP examination.

CASLPO maintains

procedures that are

transparent, impartial,

objective, and fair and

does not offer any

preferential treatment.

Applications ALWAYS get

processed in the order in

which we receive them.

mailto:[email protected]




An experienced applicant may become registered as an initial registrant if the applicant wishes to start working in Ontario before receiving their CETP examination results of the applicant,

and if the applicant agrees to undertake the CETP examination within 6-months of the issuance of their initial certificate of registration.

Once an initial certificate of registration is issued to an applicant, a general certificate of

registration will only be issued after the initial registrant has:

1. successfully completed a 6-month mentorship;

2. passed the CETP examination; and 3. If applicable, completed any additional coursework or clinical practicum hours

required by a panel of the Registration Committee.

INITIAL CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION

This certificate of registration authorizes the holder to engage in the practice of audiology or

speech-language pathology in Ontario under the mentorship of a general registrant of the

College.

The holder of an initial certificate of registration is entitled to all the rights and responsibilities

of an audiologist or speech-language pathologist in Ontario and must successfully complete a minimum 6-month period of mentored practice that begins when their initial certificate of

registration is issued. The registrant must also meet the annual renewal requirements set by

CASLPO to maintain an initial certificate of registration.

NON-PRACTISING CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION

This certificate of registration allows the holder to take a break from practising audiology or

speech-language pathology in Ontario for an entire registration period (i.e., from October 1st

to September 30th).

The holder of a non-practising certificate of registration is entitled maintain registration with

the College while on leave from practising the profession for an entire registration period. A

non-practising registrant is not allowed to practice in Ontario and must:

1. renew their non-practising certificate annually; and

2. indicate their non-practising status when using the protected titles (e.g., Audiologist

[Non-Practising], Speech-Language Pathologist [Non-Practising], or Speech Therapist

[Non-Practising].)

Note: A non-practising registrant is not required to:

1. Maintain professional liability insurance coverage. See CASLPO By-law #6 or 2. Meet Quality Assurance requirements (i.e., Self Assessment Tool (SAT), Continuous

Learning Activity Credits (CLACs), and Peer Assessment)

http://caslpo.com/sites/default/uploads/files/LAW_EN_6_Professional_Liability_Insurance.pdf



ACADEMIC CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION

This certificate of registration authorizes the holder to teach or conduct research in audiology

or speech-language pathology at a post-secondary institution. An individual must provide documentation showing that they hold an appointment at a post-secondary institution in order

to apply for an academic certificate of registration.

The holder of an academic certificate of registration is limited to practising audiology or

speech-language pathology in an academic setting.

BECOMING REGISTERED IN ONTARIO: AN OVERVIEW

There are now three steps to the registration process in Ontario.

• Application Review process

• Confirmation of eligibility to write the CETP exam

• Completion of the Registration Process

APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS

When we have received all the required documents and your file is ready for assessment, we

will determine if you have met the academic and good character requirements for registration

with CASLPO.

CONFIRMING ELIGIBILITY TO TAKE THE CETP EXAM

Graduates from Non-Accredited Canadian Education Programs

There will be a 2-step process for applicants to sit the CETP Exams – AUD/SLP:

Step 1:

Applicants from Non-Accredited Canadian Programs who will have completed the academic and clinical requirements of an AUD or SLP Master’s Education Program 15

business days prior to the date of the exam, must enroll to write the CETP Exams-AUD/SLP

during the exam enrollment period listed on SAC’s website at https://www.sac-

oac.ca/writing-cetp-exams-audslp

Step 2:

CASLPO will confirm your eligibility to write the CETP Exam for your profession ahead of

the exam date.

To confirm eligibility, CASLPO must have completed a full review of your application for

registration, and if all of the registration requirements have been met, CASLPO will provide directly to SAC Exam Manager the names of students from Non-Accredited



Canadian Programs who are eligible for the exam at the latest 15 business days before

the date of the exam..

Graduates from US and International Programs

Graduates of Audiology or Speech-language pathology programs from outside of

Canada must have their application assessed by CASLPO for both registration and to

determine their eligibility to write the CETP Exams-AUD/SLP.

Once CASLPO has indicated that you have met the requirements for registration, you

will be provided the link to proceed with the exam enrollment process.

An applicant from a US or International program may only begin their application with

CASLPO after they have completed their professional master’s program in audiology or

speech-language pathology.

COMPLETION OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS

Once your application has been reviewed by CASLPO and you have been deemed to have met

all of the coursework, clinical and good character requirements, the College will send you a

Registration Form to complete. A completed Regisration Form is required before a certificate

of registration may be issued to you.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

The applicant must meet all the application requirements, both exemptible and non-

exemptible, posted in Ontario Regulation 21/12 at:


1. GOOD CHARACTER REQUIREMENT

You must complete a declaration of your past conduct to the College. The College may ask

you to provide more information based on your response.

A conduct matter does not automatically disqualify an applicant from registration with

CASLPO. Each circumstance is reviewed by the College’s Registration Committee on a case-by-case basis.

2. REGISTRATION IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION

You must provide verification of all of your previous registrations/licenses with professional

regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions. The College may waive this requirement if there is no

certification/registration/licensing body in your previous jurisdiction.




3. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

To be registered in Ontario you must have completed a minimum of a professional master’s degree in audiology or speech-language

pathology.

What is a professional master’s degree?

A professional master’s degree must satisfy all the following criteria:

1. The degree must be recognized as a Canadian master’s degree (or its equivalent, as

determined by an outside credentialing agency). 2. The program must be officially identified as a program whose intent is to train

audiologists or speech-language pathologists. 3. The master’s degree program must consist of:

a. Coursework completed at the graduate level in audiology or speech-language pathology;

b. Supervised practicum appropriate to the practice of audiology or speech-

language pathology completed at the graduate level; and c. A research component providing study in research techniques and statistical

analysis as well as the design and execution of research related to disorders of hearing functioning or disorders of communication and/or swallowing

completed at the graduate level.

4. LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY

While language proficiency is not the only indicator of communicative competence, it is an

important foundation particularly for audiology and speech-language pathology practice. If

the language of instruction of your professional master’s degree program is not English or

French, you will be required to submit scores that meet or exceed the standards set by the

College for language proficiency from one of the College’s approved language proficiency

tests.

If the College’s Registration Committee is not satisfied that the applicant has met the above

requirement for English or French language proficiency, the applicant will be required to

demonstrate the applicant’s English or French language proficiency by attaining a passing

score on one of the College-approved language proficiency tests.

Applicants must have at

minimum a professional

master’s degree in audiology

or speech-language pathology

to be registered in Ontario.

Canada, to serve as a comparison to Canadian educational standards. The cost of this

assessment is the responsibility of the applicant. An assessment must be obtained from one

of the following credentialing agencies, which have been recognized by the Inter-provincial

Mutual Recognition Agreement:

WORLD EDUCATION SERVICES (WES)

Making a false declaration

in your application may

disqualify you from

registration.



(Search ‘CASLPO’ on the website and follow instructions. A Document-by-Document evaluation is required.) Note: If you submit an evaluation by WES, you will not need

COMPLETING THE COURSEWORK REQUIREMENTS FORM

All applicants must complete the academic coursework section of the application (Coursework

Requirements Form). The coursework requirements reflect the minimal coursework content

and hours necessary for practice in Ontario.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO FILL OUT THE FORMS

To complete the Coursework Requirements Form, you must clearly identify the relevant

courses and coursework hours from your educational program(s) and provide details from

your syllabi that demonstrate that you have covered the required content and hours.

SYLLABUS REQUIREMENT

You must submit a detailed course syllabus for each course listed in the Coursework

Requirements Form that includes the following information:

• the number and type of the course work hours (i.e., lecture hours, tutorial hours,

laboratory hours, problem-based learning hours. For information about the different

types of hours, please see below)

• course content and objectives

• required assignments or reports

• required text and readings

https://www.alberta.ca/iqas-employment-apply.aspx



• types of examination

• method of evaluation

Please note that course descriptions generally do not provide sufficient information. Syllabi

usually specify the schedule of class time, the content, method of evaluation and associated

readings.

GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE COURSEWORK

You may use both graduate and undergraduate university level coursework to fulfill CASLPO’s

academic coursework requirements. It is understood that the majority of the coursework

hours in the major professional area will have been completed at the master’s level. If this is

not the case, your application may be referred to the Registration Committee for review.

CASLPO recognizes only university level coursework towards meeting the requirements for

registration. Coursework completed at a community college level (i.e., at Colleges of Applied

Arts and Technology or equivalent) will not be accepted.

PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL) PROGRAMS

For applicants who studied within a problem-based learning curriculum, problem-based

learning hours must be specified in the applicant’s course syllabus. The College will recognize

30% of problem-based learning hours towards satisfying the requirements for registration,

similar to other student-directed instructional coursework hours (i.e., laboratory hours). The

number of problem-based learning hours should be indicated separately from instructor-led

coursework hours in the Coursework Requirements form. If required, please attach separate

sheets to show calculations.

WHAT IS A COURSEWORK HOUR?

Coursework hours refer to the hours of course instruction provided by the educational

institution. Instructional hours may consist of both “instructor-led” and “student-led”.

A 100% of the instructor-led hours can be counted towards the required totals and include:

• lectures,

• tutorials,

• seminars

30% of the student-led hours can be counted towards the required totals and include:

• laboratory hours, and

• problem-based learning hours.

University practicum hours and continuing education courses may not be included on the

Coursework Requirement form. In addition, self-study or preparation hours (i.e., activities

such as essay writing, research, reading, assignments, projects, etc.) may not be used to

meet CASLPO’s requirements.

TO CALCULATE COURSE HOURS



Course hour totals are generally determined by the number and type of class hours per week

multiplied by the number of weeks in a semester, although this may not always be the case.

For courses with a regular schedule, we require documentation indicating the number of class

hours per week, the type of instructional hours and the number of weeks in a semester, which

can generally be found in the course syllabus or transcript.

In cases where a course follows an irregular meeting schedule, the total number and type of

coursework hours (e.g., lecture, laboratory) must be clearly identified in the syllabus. If

information regarding coursework hours is not provided in a syllabus and/or transcript, then

you must provide an alternate verification of this information (e.g., a letter from program

director).

Please be advised that if you have used a course to satisfy the requirements in one category,

you cannot use those same hours to satisfy the hours requirement in another category. It is

possible however, that coursework hours within a single course may be divided across two or

more sections on the Coursework Requirements form, if the course content relates to multiple

sections. In such a case, the division of hours must be clearly indicated on the course syllabus.

FILLING OUT THE FORM: COURSEWORK HOURS (SECTIONS I – IV)

When filling out Sections I – IV of the Coursework Requirements form, please indicate the

courses (including course number and name) which contain content relevant to each of the

different sections. Each section and subsection contain descriptions of relevant course content,

with examples. For each course, indicate the number of lecture/tutorial hours (or other

instructor-led hours) related to that section, in the first column of hours. These hours will be

separate from relevant laboratory and/or problem-based learning hours (or other student-led

instructional hours), which will be included in the second column.

Please leave the third hours column blank where greyed out. At the bottom of each page, the

laboratory/problem-based learning column should be totalled up, and then multiplied by 0.3

to arrive at the “Lab/PBL” hours subtotal.

At the bottom of the page, add up the coursework hours in the Lecture/tutorial hours column.

To arrive at the ‘Total hours’ for each Section, please add the subtotals of the ‘lecture/tutorial’

hours and the Lab/PBL hours*0.3 columns.

EXAMPLES

1. For a course with instructor-directed coursework hours (e.g.,

lecture/tutorial/seminar) scheduled two hours weekly over a 12-week period,

the coursework hours would total 24.

2. For a course with lecture/tutorial/seminar hours scheduled three hours weekly

over a 13-week period, the coursework hours would total 39.

If there are different types of hours within a single course, these must be clearly

indicated on the Coursework Requirements Form.



3. For course with 3 lecture hours and 3 laboratory hours weekly over a 12-week

period, the total coursework hours would total 47:

Lecture/tutorial hours: 3x12 + Laboratory hours: (3x12) x 0.3

= 36 + 36 x 0.3

= 36 + 10.8

= 46.8

= 47

Note that for courses that include laboratory hours (or other student-directed

instructional hours), you will not see the individual total of that course on the

Coursework Requirements form, as the multiplication by 0.3 will occur for all

such courses at the bottom of the page.

FILLING OUT THE FORM: CONTENT AREAS (SECTION V)

When filling out Section V, you must indicate where we can

find evidence of each content area in your documentation. For

each content area, please indicate the name of the course(s)

in which that content area was covered, as well as the page(s)

of the syllabus where this information is presented. Note that

the courses listed in Section V will be the same as those listed

in Section III.

If a content area was covered in your program, but you are unable to find information relating

to that content area within a course syllabus, then you must provide a letter from the

university department indicating that the content was covered, and in which course it was

presented. If a letter is provided in lieu of a syllabus, that can be indicated in the form. If a

content area was not covered in an applicant’s program, then that content area in Section V

should be left blank.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS

You must provide an official transcript from your graduate degree, as well as any other

transcripts (e.g., undergraduate degree) that verify any other courses listed on your

Coursework Requirements form. Transcripts must be sent directly to the College from the

university attended or must be provided with your application in a university sealed envelope.

Please note that if you have submitted your transcript(s) to WES for evaluation, then you do

not need to submit an additional copy of that(those) transcript(s) to CASLPO.

If due to exceptional circumstances (i.e., war, political hardship, loss of records, closure of

schools) necessary academic documents may not be obtained from the university attended,

please contact the Director of Registration Services.

Please note that

sections left blank on

the Coursework

Requirements Form

may be interpreted as

deficiencies in the

content of your

curriculum.



FOR GRADUATES OF CANADIAN PROGRAMS THAT ARE NOT ACCREDITED

The Council for Accreditation of Canadian University Programs in Audiology and Speech-

Language Pathology (CACUP) provides “Candidate” status to those Canadian master’s

programs that are currently in the accreditation process. Because these programs are not

yet accredited by CACUP, CASLPO processes applications from students of those programs

in the same manner as applications from internationally educated applicants. Please refer to

the information provided in this guide.

For graduates of these Canadian programs only (i.e., not graduates of international

programs), if your transcript does not indicate that your degree has been completed, you

may submit a current official transcript listing all courses completed to date and a letter

from your program director regarding the completion of your degree. Both documents are

required. Alternatively, you may wait until your transcript indicates that your degree has

been completed.

The letter from the program director of your audiology or speech-language pathology program

must be submitted directly to CASLPO with the following information:

• that you have completed the requirements for your graduate degree (i.e., all

coursework, practicum and research projects/thesis papers); and

• the date on which your graduate degree will be awarded.

COMPLETING THE CLINICAL PRACTICUM HOURS FORM

A Clinical Practicum Hours form detailing the supervised clinical practice hours completed

within your program must be signed by the Program Director (or designate) of your audiology

or speech-language pathology program. Speech-Language and Audiology Canada’s Clinical

Hours Form may also be submitted in place of our Clinical Practicum Hours form. Photocopies

are not accepted.

If you are submitting clinical hours from separate degrees, a separate Clinical Practicum Hours

form must be submitted for each degree. It is understood that the majority of the required

clinical practicum hours in the major professional area will have been completed at the

master’s level. If this is not the case, your application may be referred to the Registration

Committee for review.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

A total (minimum) of 300 hours of university supervised clinical practice within your academic

program of study are required. These clock hours must involve supervised clinical experience

with patients. At least 225 of these 300 hours must be in the major professional area for which

you are seeking registration. This experience must include assessment, management, with

both children and adults representing a wide range of disorders. A minimum of 20 clock hours

of must be obtained in the minor professional area.

Direct clinical experience refers to shared supervised clinical activities or solo supervised

clinical activities involving patient contact and case conferences relating to a patient. Direct

hours may include assessment and treatment delivered via virtual care.



Professional experience may not be included towards the fulfillment of the clinical practicum

requirements.

SIMULATED PRACTICE

Please be advised that no more than 30 of the 300 required hours may fall into the category

of simulated practice. Simulated Practice refers to activities using standardized or simulated

patients.

Please also be advised that observation hours may not be included towards meeting CASLPO’s

requirements for practicum. Observation hours refer to activities where you have no active

involvement.

COMPLETING THE VERIFICATION OF REGISTRATION OR

LICENSURE FORM

You must provide verification of all of your previous registrations/licenses with professional

regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions. The College may waive this requirement if there is no

certification/registration/licensing body in your previous jurisdiction.

If you have resigned from a regulatory body, you must provide documentation indicating that

you were in good standing at the time you resigned. A written letter confirming current

registration or license is in good standing from a regulating body on letterhead may be

submitted as an alternative, provided that it includes all of the information contained in the

Verification of Registration form. Wall certificates or photocopies of membership cards

will not be accepted. CASLPO does not require any documentation from professional

associations who do not fulfill a regulatory function (e.g., ASHA, ISHA).

Your verification of registration form or letter must be sent to CASLPO directly from the

reguatory body completing the form.

A checklist has been provided for

your use to verify that your

submission is complete. The

checklist does not need to be

submitted with your application.



OTHER SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS All applicants must submit the following supporting documents with their Application Form:

EVIDENCE OF NAME CHANGE

CASLPO By-law #5 indicates that your name in the public register must match the documents

used to support your application with the College.

Therefore, if your current name is different from the name on your transcript, birth certificate,

citizenship card, passport, record of landing or permanent residency card, you must provide

either a copy of your marriage certificate or legal change of name document to the College

with your application.

TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENTS

All documents and letters not written in the English or French language must be accompanied

by an official translation. The applicant is responsible for the payment of translation fees.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE

SUBMITTING MY APPLICATION?

Step 1: READ

Please read the entire guide before you start the process. If you have any questions, read the

Frequently Asked Questions on our website. If you are unable to find the answer to your

question, contact the College at [email protected] or by telephone at 416-975-

5347 ext. 223.

Step 2: GATHER

Gather all of the documents that you need to include with your application. You may arrange

for some documents to be sent directly to the College by institutions on your behalf. If these

documents arrive ahead of your application, the College will file these documents until your

application form arrives at the College. If any of your documents are in a language other than

English or French, you must arrange to have these documents translated before you submit

them to the College. If you need to submit documents to an outside agency, in addition to

any documents being sent directly to CASLPO (e.g., for academic credential assessment), you

must consult with that agency regarding the need for translation.

Step 3: SUBMIT

Send in your application form along with the required supporting documents and fees. Please

refer to the Checklist (at the end of the application form) to ensure that your application is

complete.

Submit your documents to CASLPO:

By email to: [email protected]

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I SUBMIT MY

APPLICATION? For timeline of the review process, please see the Appendix 1 at the end of the guide.

APPLICATION INTAKE

When CASLPO receives an application form, the applicant will be notified of any missing

documentation.

INITIAL REVIEW

The purpose of the initial review is to identify applications that do not have deficiencies. When

the College has received your completed application along with the required supporting

documents and an application fee payment, your qualifications will be evaluated.

CASLPO is only able to begin the review of an application when all of the required documents

have been received and deemed acceptable. Any missing or incomplete documents will delay

the review of the application and the registration decision.

RESULTS OF INITIAL REVIEW

After the initial review, an applicant will be contacted regarding whether or not there were

deficiencies in their application. Deficiencies in an application may include, but are not limited

to:

• missing coursework hours

• missing content areas

• missing clinical practicum hours

• professional degree is not at the master’s level

• language proficiency test score below the cutoff

• a significant gap in education/practice recency

IF THERE ARE NO DEFICIENCIES IN YOUR APPLICATION

If there are no deficiencies in your application, you will be notified by email of your eligibility

to register with CASLPO and register for the CETP examination and asked to submit a

completed Registration Form and the fees for registration in order for your certificate of

registration to be issued.

IF THERE ARE DEFICIENCIES

If there are deficiencies in your application, your application will undergo an in-depth review

and will be referred to the College’s Registration Committee. You will receive an email

indicating that there are deficiencies in your application and that CASLPO will be conducting

an “in depth review”. Please note that the individual deficiency(s) will not be identified at this

stage. That will happen only after the in-depth review when you receive the Notice of Referral

from the Registrar.



IN DEPTH REVIEW (NOTICE OF REFERRAL TO THE REGISTRATION COMMITTEE)

If deficiencies are identified, then your application will then undergo a further review. When

this review is complete, you will receive a Notice of Referral from the Registrar, which will

clearly specify the deficiency(s) in your application. This formal, detailed letter provides you

with the opportunity to respond. You will have 30 days to provide the College with any

additional documentation that addresses the deficiencies and that you would like the

Registration Committee to consider.

REVIEW BY CASLPO’S REGISTRATION COMMITTEE

The Registration Committee is made up of audiologists, speech-language pathologists and

appointed Public Members of CASLPO’s Council. A panel of the Registration Committee will

consider applications at its next scheduled meeting, following the receipt of any additional

documentation the applicant provides.

This panel of the College’s Registration Committee shall make an order doing any one or more

of the following:

1. Direct the Registrar to issue a certificate of registration.

2. Direct the Registrar to issue a certificate of registration if the applicant successfully

completes examinations set or approved by the panel.

3. Direct the Registrar to issue a certificate of registration if the applicant successfully

completes additional training specified by the panel.

4. Direct the Registrar to impose specified terms, conditions and limitations on a

certificate of registration of the applicant and specify a limitation on the applicant’s

right to apply under subsection 19(1).

5. Direct the Registrar to refuse to issue a certificate of registration.

If any information in an applicant’s submission is unclear, the panel may also request

additional information from the applicant before a decision is made.

A decision/order from a panel of the College’s Registration Committee is emailed to the

applicant within seven weeks of the meeting date. Applicants seeking a clarification of a

Registration Panel’s decision/order may call the Director of Registration Services.

SECOND FILE REVIEWS AND APPEALS

If an applicant wishes to submit additional information after a decision has been made, the

application may be referred back to the Registration Committee for reconsideration (Second

File Review). The case is then reviewed at the next available meeting of the Registration

Committee.



An applicant who has received an order from a panel of the College’s Registration Committee

can appeal the decision through the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board.

The Health Professions Appeal and Review Board may be reached at:

Health Professions Appeal and Review Board

151 Bloor Street West, 9th floor

Toronto, Ontario

M5S 1S4

Tel: (416) 327-8512; 1 (866) 282-2179 (Toll Free)

Fax: (416) 327-8524

After the hearing or review, the Board will make an order doing any one or more of the

following:

1. Confirming the order made by the panel.

2. Requiring the Registration Committee to make an order directing the Registrar to issue

a certificate of registration to the applicant if the applicant successfully completes any

examinations or training the Registration Committee may specify.

3. Requiring the Registration Committee to make an order directing the Registrar to issue

a certificate of registration to the applicant and to impose any terms, conditions and

limitations the Board considers appropriate.

4. Referring the matter back to the Registration Committee for further consideration by

a panel, together with any reasons and recommendations the Board considers

appropriate.
