As of Right is intended for psychology practitioners who intend to settle in Ontario and practice psychology in Ontario. As of January 1, 2026, only those practitioners who are already fully registered to practice psychology in another Canadian province or territory may apply for registration via the As of Right route.
Before beginning practice in Ontario, the applicant must submit to the College a complete application form (Canadian Labour Mobility (Autonomous Practice)) a completed As of Right Attestation form, and the application fee of $100.00.
The applicant may practice psychology while they are physically in Ontario while they wait to receive a certificate of registration from the CPBAO. It is the applicant’s responsibility to request that their home jurisdiction(s) submit a verification of their registration, directly to the CPBAO as per the application instructions.
The applicant must obtain a certificate of registration from the CPBAO within six months from the date of submission of their application to the CPBAO.
