Please create an online application profile once you have gathered all required documents. Incomplete applications will expire after three (3) months, and closed applications must be resubmitted as a new application that meets the applicable requirements at the time of submission.Once you make a submission through the online portal, email requests are sent automatically to your references and/or supervisors, and your application will be reviewed within 10–15 business days once all references and other outstanding documentation are received (process times for this initial review for completeness of the application may vary based on complexity and volume of applications).
If any documents are assessed to be outstanding at the time of review, you may be given two (2) weeks to submit them. Extensions beyond this period will not be granted. If the outstanding documents are not provided or any concerns communicated in the review stage are not addressed within this two week extension period, a decision will be made based on the information already received, which may result in a refusal to register. Please note that an applicant may only reapply for registration after the expiration of one year from the date at which the College’s refusal to register is final. Applicants are strongly encouraged to ensure all documents are complete and accurate prior to submission on the online portal.
If you have any questions, phone the College at 604-737-4916 or e-mail info@bccsw.ca.
