Inactive Class of Certificate of Registration

To apply for the inactive class of certificate of registration, log into the Online Portal, click on “Request Status Change” under the “Request” tab and select the “Inactive Class” application.

Important note on fees for registrants applying to the inactive class during the renewal period:

•  Registrants who apply to move into the inactive class during the renewal period must still renew their registration after their application has been accepted.
• If a registrant applies to the inactive class during the renewal period but the start date is in the future, the renewal fee will not reflect the change in status and the registrant will have to pay the full general class renewal fee. Once the registrant moves into the inactive class, the renewal fee will be prorated and the registrant will be issued a refund based on the quarter that they move into the inactive class.
• If a registrant has already renewed their registration and paid the general renewal fee and then applies to move into the inactive class, the College will prorate their renewal fee based on the quarter that they move into the inactive class and will be issued a refund.

Please note: The status change to the inactive class will take effect on the date selected on the application.

Once the application has been approved, a notation indicating that the registrant holds an inactive certificate of registration and is not currently allowed to practise will be noted on the Online Register. This information is available to the public.

Registrants holding an inactive class certificate of registration must still:

• Renew their certificate of registration every year, on or before December 31^st.
• Pay the inactive class annual fee.
• Participate, on an annual basis, in the Continuing Competence Program (CCP) and, at any time required by the College, provide evidence satisfactory to the College that they have completed the CCP.

To renew an inactive class of certificate of registration, follow the same steps as you would to renew a general certificate of registration. More information can be found on the Annual Renewals webpage.

The annual fee for the inactive class is $200. However, the fee can vary depending on the following circumstances:

Partial year inactive status

• If a registrant holds an inactive class of certificate of registration for only a portion of the year, their total annual fee will be prorated between the inactive certificate fee ($200) and the general class certificate fee ($400).
• The proration will be based on the amount of time spent in each class of certificate of registration during the year.

New graduates moving to inactive status

• If a new graduate registrant becomes an inactive registrant within their first two years of registration, they will be required to pay the $200 fee for the inactive class.
• The eligibility period for the new graduate annual fee will not be extended if the registrant moves to the inactive class during the initial two-year period.
