Registered In Another Province
The amended Federal/Provincial/Territorial Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) and the Ontario Labour Mobility Act removes barriers for Dietitians who are registered in other Canadian provinces to become registered with the College of Dietitians of Ontario.
Dietitians registered with a Canadian dietetic regulatory body, are deemed to have met the academic, practical training, and exam requirements for a general certificate of registration, if they fulfill all of the following conditions:
- When applying to the College of Dietitians of Ontario, the applicant is still registered and a member in good standing with a regulatory body of dietitians in another jurisdiction in Canada.
- The applicant’s registration in the other jurisdiction is not in a restricted category, such as qualifying, honorary, retired, inactive, associate, or special.
If the applicant is a member of a dietetic regulatory body in another province and is not in good standing or has terms, conditions, or limitations on their certificate of registration, then the College of Dietitians will assess the application and may either refuse registration or proceed to register the applicant with terms, conditions or limitations placed on their certificate of registration. Certain other requirements will have to be(e.g., immigration status, language proficiency, good character).
