Important: Annual Renewal Deadline Extended


Important Update from the College: Annual Renewal Deadline Extended


We understand that this is an incredibly difficult time for physiotherapists with the health care system in flux and with so many of you not able to see your patients. We are well aware of the financial impact this is having on you and your family.

As the result of these extraordinary circumstances, the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario has decided to extend the upcoming March 31, 2020 renewal deadline. 

More than half of Ontario’s 10,000 physiotherapists have already renewed and we very much appreciate you doing that. For those PTs who have not yet completed annual renewal please be aware that we are extending the College’s annual renewal period until Tuesday, June 30, 2020.   

Important: It is essential that all physiotherapists complete and pay for their registration by June 30, 2020, to maintain their certificates and allow them to continue to practice. We hope this one-time extension will offer PTs struggling a bit of financial relief. Renewals made after June 30, 2020 will incur a late fee. 

No refund will be offered for those of you who have already renewed. However, please know that you  have allowed the College to provide an extension to your fellow PTs facing financial difficulty, while allowing the College to continue to function and meet our mandate to protect the public.

We appreciate everything you are doing for patients in Ontario and will do our best to support you and update you as new information becomes available to us.

If you have questions about the annual renewal extension, please reach out to our Renewal Team at renewal@collegept.org or call 1-800-583-5885 ext. 235 and they are happy to assist you.  

NOTE: As of May 26, 2020 the deadline has been extended to September 30, 2020.
