Proof of License
Proof of a specialty license is required as part of an application for Fellowship by a candidate who passed the Fellowship Examination. Depending on the rules in a candidate’s jurisdiction, proof of licensure may be submitted as one of the following:
For jurisdictions that do not issue specialty licenses
- a letter confirming that the candidate holds a general license, and that they can practice their specialty with this license
- this letter must be sent from the licensing organisation directly to membership@rcdc.ca using an official email address
For jurisdictions that require a specialty license
- a copy of the specialty license, which can be verified online by RCDC staff
If the license cannot be verified online, we instead require:
- a letter from the regulator/licensing body confirming that the candidate is licensed to practice their specialty in this jurisdiction
- this letter must be sent from the licensing organisation directly to membership@rcdc.ca using an official email address
Candidates who are not yet able to obtain a specialty license but who will practice in a jurisdiction that does require one can apply for Fellowship under certain specific circumstances. For more information, candidates should refer to communications received from the College, or to the Fellowship Policy.
Please reach out to membership@rcdc.ca for any questions regarding the submission of the proof of licensure.
