Fair Registration Practices (FRP) Report, 2008

The AOLS submitted proposed changes to its registration regulation to the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines in the summer of 2008. The changes include removing the requirement for Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status, and giving the association's academic and experience requirement committee the option to waive the term of articles for applicants in good standing in another jurisdiction (not only in a Canadian jurisdiction). The OFC recognizes these as positive steps towards reducing barriers to registration.

As of March 31, 2009, the ministry was still reviewing the changes.
