Fees & Timelines

Fees

Some fees are payable to the Ontario College of Pharmacists while other fees are payable to third parties.

Access the application and OCP-specific requirement fees. In most cases, acceptable forms of payment to the College are Visa, Mastercard, American Express, cheque, or money order. Fees for applications for a Certificate of Registration and the Jurisprudence, Ethics and Professionalism exam must be paid online by credit card.
