Annual Registration Renewal

When Annual Registration Renewal opens in April, physicians complete their annual registration renewal in the Portal.

Please visit the Portal Resources page to see a list of commonly asked questions about using the Portal to complete the renewal survey.

2025 Renewal Important Dates

Monday, April 7, 2025 at 9 a.m. EDT:
Log in to your Portal account and complete your annual registration renewal survey by clicking “Registration Renewal” in the Portal dashboard.

Monday, June 2, 2025 at 5 p.m. EDT:
The deadline for submitting your completed renewal survey and annual fee is June 2, 2025. There will be a late penalty fee for any fees received after June 2. 

Physicians who have not submitted a completed renewal survey and registration fee by June 2, 2025 will receive a notice of intention to suspend their certificate of registration 60 days after the renewal deadline.

This information is for physicians with one of the following certificates of registration:

• Independent Practice
• Restricted (excluding restricted for postgraduate education)
• Academic Practice

Registration

A physician becomes a registrant of the College when issued a certificate of registration authorizing you to practice medicine in Ontario. To avoid the suspension and expiry of your certificate of registration, you are required to complete the online survey and submit payment annually. Your new registration card and annual fee receipt are available in the Portal.

Every registrant is responsible for ensuring CPSO has a current mailing and email address. Any changes must be updated in your online profile within 30 days. Log in to the Portal to update your information.

Annual Registration Fee

The 2025 annual registration fee is $1,725. This is the seventh consecutive year we have not raised fees and instead have been able to accommodate inflationary increases through internal efficiencies, including the removal of various administrative service fees. Ontario’s fees remain among the lowest in Canada.

Suspension

If you fail to complete the online renewal form or submit the fee payment in the Portal, you will receive a notice of intention to suspend your certificate of registration in 60 days.

If your certificate of registration is to be suspended, the Registrar will notify you by mail. Immediately upon suspension, your certificate of registration expires and your authority to practice medicine in Ontario ceases.

In addition:

• We add a permanent notation of suspension to the physician’s record and public profile.
• We circulate a list containing the names of all suspended physicians to Ontario hospitals.

If an expired physician wishes to resume practice in Ontario, they must submit an application for a new certificate of registration, pay all applicable fees, meet all registration requirements in force at the time of application, and be granted a new certificate by the College.
