ACOT renewal 2022 - changes!

When you login to your profile the system will automatically send you an email with a confirmation code. Check your email and if not found, check your junk mail for info@acot.ca. You have 30 minutes to enter the confirmation code. If the time expires, you can try again. Login before the 2022/23 renewal deadline on Feb 28.

 
Start early and give yourself extra time especially if your employment has changed as that will need to be approved which can take days and delay your renewal then ACOT may have to hold your license and has enacted fines for practicing without a license due to such delays.

 REQUIREMENT: As of 2022/2023 Registration/Renewal, you must personally hold professional liability insurance in the amount of no less than five million dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence, to be able to register for or renew your practice permit. See ACOT website:

When you renew with ACOT it will say "Please upload a copy of your insurance policy’s first page including your name, policy number, effective and expiry dates and coverage amount (no need to upload the whole policy)". 

 You will have a PLI certificate from CAOT when you renewed in october if you have it.
