Applicants

You may submit your documents for evaluation by the PEBC before your arrival. The PEBC Pharmacist Evaluating Exam may be offered in London, England for an additional fee. Please refer to the PEBC website for more information.

You may submit your language proficiency test results from any testing institution that offers one of the tests accepted by the College. Please refer to the website for each testing agency to find out where their testing institutions outside of Canada are located.

The online Orientation to the Canadian Health Care System, Culture and Context course that is part of the bridging education for international pharmacy technician applicants may be completed before your arrival. The program recommends that you only take this course if you are within three to six months before arriving in Canada.

The self-study reading and activities for the online IPG Program may be completed while you are overseas. You must provide evidence of your Canadian status to register for the IPG Program. Please refer to the IPG Program website for more information.

Applications to the College are generally processed within 1-2 months (including ~6 weeks for applicants coming through Gateway). May take longer during peak times. The fees and timelines charts for each pathway to registration list the processing time for various applications.

The College recognizes there may be some individuals who are unable to obtain the documentation required to complete their registration application and has procedures in place to handle these situations. For documents also required by the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC), the College will accept the verification process used by the PEBC for individuals in this situation.
