Any individual who wishes to practice as a pharmacist in Newfoundland and Labrador must register with the College of Pharmacy of Newfoundland and Labrador (CPNL). Pharmacists currently registered in another jurisdiction in Canada are eligible to apply for registration with CPNL if they meet the requirements set out below.
The following documentation is required to be submitted with the Pharmacist Registration Application. Visit Registration Requirements for more information.
If you have determined you are eligible to register as a pharmacist and have obtained all the required documentation, you may apply through CPNL’s online application portal by following the steps below.
Completed applications are reviewed in the order they are submitted and may take 5-7 business days to process once all required documentation and fees are received. Applicants will be notified by email once a decision has been made. If approved, the applicant must pay the annual registration fee by logging into the Applications Portal and clicking the Pay Registration Fees button next to the appropriate application. Once the annual registration fee is paid, the pharmacist will be added to the Public Register and registration will be effective until December 31st of the registration year. The registration certificate can be downloaded from the Registrant Portal.
