Remember that completing a course is only the first step to administering drugs by injection. You must apply for and receive authorization from the college before you can administer any injections.
Applications for authorization can take up to 10 business days to process, and may take longer if application volumes increase. Time to send and receive mail via Canada Post also impacts the length of time it takes to receive your updated practice permit. Remember, you may not administer an injection until you receive your new practice permit with this authorization noted.
