You may disagree with our application or registration decision and want to appeal it.
If your registration application is not approved and/or is subject to conditions, deferred, or is refused, you may submit a request for review to the College within 30 days of receiving your registration decision.
According to the Health Professions Act (HPA) Part 2 (31):
(1) An applicant whose application for registration is accepted subject to conditions or whose registration is deferred or whose application is refused by the registrar, registration committee or competence committee may, within 30 days after being given a copy of the decision, request a review by the council.
(2) An applicant who is not notified of a decision after 120 days after submitting their complete application has 30 days from that date to request a review by the council.
How to Request a Review
A request for a review must meet the following criteria:
- Be submitted in writing within 30 days of receiving your registration decision to registration@acmdtt.com; and
- List the reasons why your application should be approved with or without conditions;

Within 30 days of receiving the request, the Registrar will notify you when a review takes place.
A review will begin no later than 60 days after the Registrar is given the request for a review.
Review Process
The following are the participants in a review by the College’s Council:
