Applicants form Other Canadian Jurisdictions
If you are an osteopathic manual practitioner registered in another Canadian province, you may be eligible
to
apply for registration through the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT), if you provide ONNL with a letter
of good
standing from the Association you are a member of. AIT allows for the movement of osteopathic
manual practitioners
and other professionals across Canadian jurisdictions without facing undue barriers
to registration.
If you are currently registered under a class or category of registration that is similar to a class
or category
in Newfoundland and Labrador and provide ONNL with a letter of good standing, you will
not be required to
undergo any material additional training, experience, examinations or assessments.
You will still be required
to successfully complete ONNL's legislation and ethics examination to
demonstrate knowledge of
Newfoundland and Labrador law with respect to osteopathic practice.
As well, ONNL may require an
investigation into past disciplinary and legal history as well
as well as other administrative requirements
(fees, forms, liability protection, etc.).
If you are currently registered under a class or category of registration that is not similar to class or category
of ONNL, ONNL's existing registration regulation will apply. Please contact ONNL for more information
regarding AIT.
