Previously a provisional pharmacy technician

If you were previously on the provisional pharmacy technician 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 pharmacy technicians. If you were on the 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 provisional register.

If you were on the pharmacy technician 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.

   • 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.
