Maintaining Registration for 2024
Between May 1 and July 2, foreign practitioners must log in to the Licensee Portal to complete the online process for maintaining their name in CPATA’s Public Register. CPATA transitioned to a new Licensee Portal in February. Foreign practitioners who have not done so already, must activate their account in the new Portal. Further details will be sent by e-mail when the online process opens.
