You have five (5) years from the date your name is placed on CAP’s provisional register to complete all registration requirements. Note the following points:
1. CAP must confirm that you have completed all requirements (i.e., passing the EPPP and the LEAP Examinations, and completion of 1600 hours of supervised, evaluated practice) before you can start the Final Registration process.
If your final requirement is the LEAP or EPPP: CAP will process your official score within two weeks, assign a new Registration Change form in the MyCAP Login and notify you via email.
If your final requirement is completion of your supervised (evaluated) hours: After you have completed the supervised (evaluated) hours, you will trigger the final evaluation from your Hours of Supervised (Evaluated) Practice form. The instructions for doing so are at the top of the form. After your supervisor completes the evaluation, it will be processed by CAP within 2-3 weeks. When the review is completed, CAP will assign a new online Final Registration Change form in the MyCAP Login and notify you via email.
2. You will then complete the online Final Registration Change form which includes a series of declarations, and a section to input the names and email addresses of three professional references.
One of the referees must be a Registered Psychologist, and you are welcome to use your supervisor(s). All of your referees must be able to speak to your psychological skills. When you submit the form, they will each receive an automated email with a link to the reference form.
This phase in the process is typically the one that delays a final registration. To minimize delays, you will want to ensure the email addresses you entered are correct, and you may wish to communicate with your referees to ensure that the reference forms are completed in a timely manner.
3. CAP individually reviews the completed reference forms to ensure accuracy and completeness.
4. Your file will then undergo an internal review which can take up to 30 business days. This review is not completed by the RASC and does not follow the RASC calendar of meeting dates.
5. Once approved, you are notified that you may now transition to obtaining a practice permit as a registered psychologist. This is done by paying the practice permit fees owing as a registered psychologist (pro-rated for the balance of the current fiscal year). Once the payment is received, your name is added to the general register as a registered psychologist, and an updated registration number and practice permit are issued and available to you in the MyCAP Login. A certificate will be mailed to the address listed in your MyCAP Login typically within eight weeks.
6. You must continue to follow the Standards for Supervision of Registered Provisional Psychologists until this process is complete and you have received a new registration number for the general register.
7. You must factor the time that it will take to complete the final registration process into the five years which you have to complete your registration requirements so that your registration as a provisional psychologist does not expire before your name can be placed on the General Register.
