Application Process

To become registered with the College, applicants must complete the Registration Application Form and submit it with the appropriate fees and documentation. Carefully follow the Application Form Guide to ensure you meet the registration requirements and that all required documentation is included with the application form.

Application forms can be submitted prior to having met all requirements, however, a full registration can not be issued until a complete application has been received and it has been determined that you have met all of the registration requirements. If submitting an incomplete application package, be sure to include the application fee, as much documentation as is available, and acknowledgement of all outstanding documentation to be submitted.

The application process can take up to 10 working days to complete but this is a guideline only.  

REMEMBER:  Your MAY NOT begin working as an occupational  therapist in Nova Scotia until you have received notice from the College that your application has been approved.
