Fees for 2022
Annual fees are set in accordance with College By-Laws. In March 2020, the Board passed By-Law amendments that increase registrant fees each year by the percentage increase, if any, of the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) for goods and services in Canada as published by Statistics Canada. For 2022, the increase has been calculated at 4.4% based on the actual CPI as of September 30, 2021 which was communicated via e-Connect following the Board’s approval of the College’s 2022 operating budget in December 2021. Accordingly, the 2022 annual renewal fees are as follows: Pharmacist – Part A: $789.25 (+HST); Pharmacist – Part B: $394.65 (+HST); Pharmacy Technician: $526.20 (+HST)
Payment by credit card or Interac®
It’s quick, easy and secure. Pay your annual fee online using your Visa, MasterCard or American Express, or using your debit card at select institutions.
Payment by cheque or money order
Print and submit your “Confirmation of Information Renewal” along with your cheque or money order to OCP. All methods of payment should be made payable to the Ontario College of Pharmacists or OCP.
Payment by employer
Print and submit your “Confirmation of Information Renewal” to your employer as proof that you have completed the information renewal component.
Penalties
If you fail to pay your annual fee by March 10, 2022 a penalty will apply. The penalty fee is $131.55 (plus HST and annual fee) if paid within 30 days of the fee due date. After 30 days, the penalty fee increases to $197.85 (plus HST and annual fee). Failure to pay your fees can result in suspension. To avoid penalties, we encourage you to complete your renewal on or before March 10, 2022. Note that a suspension will remain on your public profile as part of your registration history.
Once you have updated your information and paid your annual fee, your renewal is considered complete. If paying online by credit card or debit card, you will have immediate access to your official tax receipt in the Financials section of your online account. If paying by cheque, please allow 2-3 weeks from date of receipt for processing.
