Re-registration on the membership roll as marriage and family therapist (after more than 5 years)

This section is intended for persons who were previously members of the Order as a marriage and family therapist but have been absent from the membership roll for more than 5 years. If you have been absent for less than 5 years, please refer to this section instead.

These applications are studied pursuant to the Regulation respecting refresher training periods for social workers (C-26, r. 296).

Imposition of refresher training is not automatic. A review of the file, conducted after the receipt of all required documents and payments, allows the Order to evaluate your professional experience over the past five years.

We suggest that you consult the Application of the Regulation respecting refresher training to obtain more detailed information on this subject.
