How To Apply for Temporary Practice
|
Temporary Practice is defined as
practice which exceeds Incidental Practice but does not exceed
12 months in duration and is related to a particular engagement.
Temporary practice will require applying for a license in the
host jurisdiction. Temporary practice licenses will be of one
year duration and will be renewable for 2 additional years.
Recurring practice in a fourth year will require full dual
registration.
To apply to undertake Temporary Practice a visiting practitioner
will be required to complete and submit an
Application for Temporary Practice form.
This bilingual form will require that you provide basic
information about yourself and the Temporary Practice assignment
you are to engage upon, including the location of the work, the
client, and the commencement date. Upon completion and
signature, the form should be sent along with current photo ID
by regular mail, fax or as an electronic document file in
duplicate to both your home association and the host association
in whose jurisdiction you intend to work. NOTE: if you fax or
e-mail the form you must also send the original signed version
by mail to the host association with the accompanying payment.
The receipt of the form at your home association will trigger
the immediate release of a standard letter from the home
association to the host association confirming your status at
the home association. In the case of an Application for
Temporary Practice the home association will also automatically
transfer copies of other pertinent material from your file,
which is required to expedite acceptance for temporary
licensure.
Provided you are a member in good standing of the home
association and all other details are in order to the
satisfaction of the host association you will be issued a
Temporary Permit in the case of Quebec and a Temporary License
in the case of Ontario.
Clearance for Temporary Practice will be confirmed by the host
association as follows:
in the case of APGO, through the issuance of a Temporary
Membership license which will be copied to the home association
for their file. It will specify the starting date and such other
details as may be pertinent. The issuance of a Temporary
Membership in the APGO will place your name on the register in
Ontario.
In the case of OGQ, through the issuance of Temporary permit
with relevant details (dates, location, client, etc). Upon
granting of the Temporary permit, you will be invited to
register. Registration onto the Roll provides the right to
practice in Quebec.
Both associations have given a commitment to process
applications for Temporary Practice as quickly as possible and
have set as a target a 15 day turn around. However, given that
Temporary Practice does requires formal registration in the host
jurisdiction and appropriate procedures must be followed, it may
be that more than 15 days are required. To cover for any likely
delays it will be the practice at both associations to issue
clearance for Incidental Practice (provided all requirements for
such practice are met) in the interim, while Temporary Practice
applications are being processed.
A processing fee of $100 plus applicable taxes will apply to
each application for Temporary Practice.
Annual dues for Temporary Licensure in both jurisdictions have
been set at $200 plus applicable taxes for Temporary Practice,
under the provision of the Quebec-Ontario Mobility Agreement.
Those undertaking Temporary Practice in Quebec should be aware
that an additional $22 per annum levy will be collected on
behalf of the Office des Professions. This charge is required of
all professionals in Quebec and is beyond the control of the
OGQ.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Under the provisions of the Agreement both
associations retain their full right to decide who is eligible
to practice within their jurisdiction and to whom it may decide
to give clearance to practice. Clearance is not guaranteed.
