FAQ for applicants who applied before May 15, 2023

Answers to frequently asked questions about the licensing process in place before PEO adopted a six-month application processing timeframe

If you applied for a licence before May 15, 2023, you continue the same licensure path that was in place when you applied. PEO will invite you to join the new application process, depending on the stage of your application. For example, current applicants who benefit from the new rules, such as removing Canadian experience, will be notified by PEO if that’s the only missing piece of their application.

No, do not reapply. As of May 15, 2023, PEO no longer requires Canadian experience. This applies to all applicants, regardless of when they applied.
