If you do not renew your licence by the expiry date, you will no longer be licensed with the College and will become a “former” licensee. This means that you will not be a licensed pharmacist or pharmacy technician in BC, you will not be allowed to practice pharmacy in BC and your access to PharmaNet will be terminated. If you are also a manager of a pharmacy, your pharmacy licence will be cancelled. If you wish to become a licensee again, you will have to complete the reinstatement process applicable to your licence class (pharmacist or pharmacy technician) and pay applicable fees.
The specific reinstatement requirement depends on the time period lapsed between your last licence expiry date and the time you apply for a licence. Your Continuing Education submissions for reinstatement will require up to 5 business days to review; you will be advised via email of their status, or if additional information is required. More information can be found here.
