Initial Registration Application

Past Members: If you were a member of the SCOT in the past and your licence has expired and wish to re-activate your Licence. Please log in to the SCOT member portal and select Re-Activate Licence.

Instructions

In order for this application to be processed you must:

  • Complete this application in full.
  • Upload all required documents (see document list below).
  • Ensure that official evidence of successful completion of your educational program (your transcripts) has been sent directly to the SCOT from the educational institution. Unofficial evidence of successful completion of an educational program (e.g. a letter provided directly from the University) is acceptable until convocation; however, official evidence (i.e. transcripts) must be received within 30 days of convocation.

Please note that you may not hold yourself out as a "Occupational Therapist" in the province of Saskatchewan until after your application for registration has been approved by the SCOT (i.e. you have been issued a licence to practice). This includes clinical orientation, supervised work (clinical and non-clinical), and volunteer work.

Applicants educated outside of Canada need to apply to the Substantial Equivalency Assessment System (SEAS) before applying with the SCOT.

Incomplete applications will be denied. Applicants should note that approval of a completed application, including all required documents, may take up to ten business days. If your application is denied, your registration fee will be returned and you will be advised of the reason(s) for the decision and the appeal process.
