Additional information and requirements can be found on the Re-Entry Program webpage. 

Applicants returning to practice who have worked 600 hours in the last three years as a licensed Occupational Therapist in a regulated province or country do not need to complete the Re-Entry Program.

Individuals who have previously held a practising licence, restricted practising licence, or non-practising membership with SCOT, must contact SCOT at admin@ssot.sk.ca to initiate the re-application process and to gain access to the re-application form.

The application and all accompanying documentation must be received by SCOT with full payment prior to receiving a licence. Applicants should anticipate at least seven days for the re-application process.

  • Name change verification (if the applicant’s legal name has changed since receiving their degree)

  • Notarized copy of the applicant’s occupational therapy educational degree or transcripts sent to SCOT directly from the university.

    • Regulatory History forms from all jurisdictions (including international jurisdictions) in which the applicant has practised occupational therapy or been registered as an occupational therapist, sent directly from the regulatory body to SCOT. The following Regulatory History Form can be sent to each of the previous regulatory or licensing organizations for completion.

Information about processing and licensing fees can be found on the Processing and Licensing Fees webpage.
