2008

Fair Registration Practices (FRP) Report, 2008

The OCP developed a new regulation in the summer of 2008 and invited the OFC to comment on it. The OFC noted the OCP's efforts, in the new regulation, to clarify the criteria used to assess applicants' language proficiency and to determine applicants' suitability to practise. The OFC also supported the steps the OCP is taking to make the practical training requirement more flexible, so that the experience applicants have acquired prior to applying for registration is better taken into account.

However, the OFC expressed concerns about an OCP proposal to require international pharmacy graduates (IPGs) to take bridging programs approved by the OCP's council, because the cost of the program is likely to create a hardship for IPGs and the proposal does not include an offer of financial assistance. As of March 31, 2009, after several discussions with the OFC, the OCP was exploring alternatives to this proposal.
