Previously a pharmacy student or provisional pharmacist

If you were previously on the pharmacy student, provisional pharmacist, or courtesy register and your practice permit expired or was cancelled, you may reapply to the applicable register to complete the entry-to-practice requirements for pharmacists. If you were on the student or provisional register but your permit expired before you completed the entry-to-practice requirements, you may be required to provide proof of PEBC certification obtained within the last three years before you can return to the student or provisional register.

If you were on the clinical pharmacist register, you are required to adhere to the reinstatement requirements and process.

Reapplication process

Follow these steps to reapply: 

1. Prepare your supporting documentation. All documents must be in PDF format.
   • Registration statutory declaration must be declared before a notary public or a commissioner for oaths within the past six months. Out-of-province declarants must use a notary public.
   • An Enhanced Police Information Check must be current within the past six months.
   • Proof of PEBC certification (if applicable).
   • Evidence of name change (if applicable). If the name on any document is different from your legal name, you must submit a copy of either your name change or marriage certificate to confirm that you legally changed your name. This document DOES NOT need to be notarized.

   • Once you are ready to apply, complete the following steps:
     • Access the application to reapply (in myACP). All applications can be found under New applications.

3. Application decision
   • Complete applications are reviewed in the order in which they are submitted and may take up to 15 business days to assess and process. Incomplete applications will result in further delays. ACP will notify you via email once your application has been reviewed to indicate next steps or if we have any questions regarding your application. Additional documentation may be required.

     • Visa,
     • Visa Debit,
     • Mastercard, or
     • Debit Mastercard.
