USEFUL INFORMATION |
|
 |
- The fees related to obtaining a licence and entry on the order’s role can be quite substantial. They range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on the circumstances and the order. They include the fees for processing an application for equivalence, examinations, issuing the licence, admission to the order, etc. Costs for required training or internships may apply.
- Procedures for admission to a professional order can be long and complex. In addition to the time required by the order to process your file, you should also take into account, if applicable, the availability of required courses or internships and their duration, as well as the frequency of examinations administered by the order and the Office québécois de la langue française. Delays may also be caused by other administrative procedures, for example, when additional supporting documentation is required.
- It is in your best interest to contact the order for your profession before your departure. This will allow you to become familiar with the steps you will be required to take to obtain your licence and admission into the order. In addition, it is strongly recommended that you begin the admission process before your departure.
