Assisting Regulated Practitioners with Emergency Registration

1. The Minister must have requested that the College initiate registrations under this class based on the Minister’s opinion that emergency circumstances call for it or the Council must have determined, after taking into account all of the relevant circumstances that impact the ability of applicants to meet the ordinary registration requirements, that there are emergency circumstances and that it is in the public interest that the College issue emergency certificates.

2. The applicant must be registered or licensed to practise psychotherapy in another jurisdiction in which the requirements for registration or licensure are similar to CRPO.

3. The applicant must have completed, no earlier than two years before the date of their application, the jurisprudence course that was set or approved by the Registration Committee.

4. Within the three years prior to submitting their application for registration, the applicant must have practised the profession.

5. It is an additional term, condition and limitation of every Emergency certificate of registration that the registrant must practise psychotherapy with clinical supervision.

Emergency Registration Fee: $321.00 +HST

Fees must be paid by Visa or MasterCard directly through your user account. The alternative for individuals without credit cards is a prepaid credit card.

Fees paid to CRPO are non-refundable.

Unless stated otherwise on the certificate, an Emergency certificate of registration expires one year after it is issued, unless it is renewed, or six months after the CRPO Council determines the emergency circumstances no longer exist.

A registrant who holds an Emergency certificate of registration, or a former member who held an Emergency certificate of registration within the six months prior to applying for a Qualifying certificate of registration, may be issued a Qualifying certificate of registration. CRPO will provide further information upon issuance of an Emergency certificate of registration.
