Licence renewal for 2026/2027

The CHCPBC Bylaws were amended to align renewal cycles for licensing, certification, and health profession corporations to a deadline of March 31, across all nine professions regulated by the College, starting in 2026. The amendments were approved by the CHCPBC Board following public consultation.

Licence renewal for 2026/2027 will open February 18, 2026 in the Licensee Portal for dietetics. March 31, 2026 is the renewal deadline.

CHCPBC no longer requires registration for dietitians’ three restricted activities. Under the Health Professions and Occupations Act framework, there are full restricted activities, limited restricted activities, and limited restricted activities if certified. To align with this framework, the requirement to register restricted activities at renewal, and to indicate registration status on the public register, has been removed unless a restricted activity is limited and requires certification. BC was the only jurisdiction in Canada that required an additional layer of regulation for restricted activities that have been considered entry-to-practice for several years.
