Cancellation (Outstanding Requirements)

  • If you advise the College you are leaving practice but have outstanding requirements, your practice permit will be cancelled effective the date you provide.
  • Permit cancellation is not considered a resignation.
  • No refund of fees is provided.
  • Outstanding fees remain payable and must be paid at the time of reinstatement.
  • Outstanding CCP hours, audits, or conduct requirements must be completed before a reinstatement application can be approved.

If You Do Not Notify the College

  • If you stop working or don’t plan to renew you registration and practice permit but do not notify the College, your practice permit remains in effect until the end of the permit year (December 31).
  • You are responsible for all requirements tied to that permit year, including CCP hours, audits, fees, levies, fines, and conduct matters.
