WHILE
YOU ARE STILL ABROAD (Before
You Immigrate to Ontario)
You
may begin the licensing/registration process from your
country of origin. You will be required to:
- Provide
documentary evidence of your qualifications for our
assessment; and
- Include
the appropriate fees to initiate your application
for licence.
This
is intended to reduce the time it takes for you to receive
your licence. It enables you to know if your academic
qualifications meet PEO’s standards for licensure before
you immigrate.

apply for licensure in Ontario and to receive an
application form, contact our office at:

your academic documents are not in English, you are required

original documents. You must also provide your detailed
course descriptions (a syllabus) and an experience record
for our review.
The
academic qualification assessment should take no longer than two (2) months
to complete after PEO has received all the required documents.
Once
your documents have been assessed, PEO will advise you on what examinations
you will be required to write, in the event your academic qualifications
are assessed to be deficient, or in order to confirm that they are equivalent
to PEO’s academic requirements for licensure.

soon as you arrive in Ontario, you may continue the licensure process without
being required to pay any additional application for licence fee.
