Registration Procedures for Pharmacy Graduates Trained Outside Canada

The role of provincial governments and The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) in licensing

Each province in Canada is responsible for issuing a license to practice pharmacy in their own province. All provinces, except Quebec, require applicants trained outside of Canada to have The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada Certificate of Qualification.

This Certificate is a major requirement for licensing in each province, but the Certificate alone does not mean you have the right to practice.

In addition to the PEBC Certificate of Qualification, each province has additional licensing requirements. These may include practical experience, English or French language skills, and forensic examinations. You must contact the licensing authority of the province in which you choose to practice to receive full information about their requirements.

How to receive your PEBC Certificate of Qualification

As a pharmacy graduate trained outside of Canada, you must follow the 2-step Evaluation Procedure before you can write the Qualifying Examination. Once you have favourably completed the two steps, you will then be eligible to take the Qualifying Examination.

Please note: If you are a foreign-trained pharmacist who has graduated from a degree program acceptable to the Board and has been registered continuously for a minimum of 10 years as a pharmacist in Canada and are currently registered in good standing as a pharmacist in Canada, you may apply directly for the Qualifying Examination. However, you must first have your qualification assessed to confirm your eligibility and must contact the PEBC office for further information.

Language Proficiency Requirements

Language Proficiency Tests are not required by The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada. However, Provincial Licensing Authorities do require these tests.

Pharmacists seeking licensure must meet the respective provincial requirements in order to become licensed within an individual province. Therefore, candidates for licensure are advised to contact the licensing authority in the province for which they are seeking licensure to receive full information regarding language fluency requirements.

Immigration to Canada

For all matters regarding immigration, please contact your local Immigration Authorities directly. PEBC cannot provide information or answer questions about immigration.
