Renewal Opened January 1, 2022

Thank you to the many OTs who have already renewed their practice permits, we appreciate the early renewals! To renew your permit, access the Registrant Login to the online platform at www.acot.ca.

Be sure to renew before February 28, 2022, to avoid having your practice permit cancelled. 

Note: it can take up to 10 business days if renewal approval is required. This happens if you have profile updates such as a name change or addition of an employer that is not currently in our system. Be sure to start your renewal well before the end of February.
