Introduction

Many people who work in the pharmaceutical industry want to relocate to Canada. The first thing that international pharmacy graduates (IPGs) need to do if they want to work as licensed pharmacists in Canada is get certified by the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC).

The first two steps, Document Evaluation (DE) and the Evaluating Exam (EE), are very important. If someone makes mistakes on their application or doesn’t study enough for the test, they could be delayed by months or even years.

The six-month course Elite Expertise helps students get ready for the PEBC exam. Foreign graduates can pass the DE and EE with the help of professional teachers, live lectures, recorded sessions, practice tests and one-on-one coaching.

The PEBC Certification Pathway for Graduates from Other Countries

The PEBC is the group in Canada that gives pharmacy technicians and pharmacists their licenses. Before they can get their licence, all chemists must go through the same certification procedure to make sure they meet national criteria.

The steps for pharmacy graduates from other countries are as follows:

1. Join Pharmacists’ Gateway Canada to get a NAPRA ID.
2. Document Evaluation (DE): Checking the qualifications, academic records, and licence status.
3. Evaluating Exam (EE): A test with multiple-choice questions that checks how well you understand pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical sciences, and administrative sciences.
4. Qualifying Examinations (Part I: Multiple Choice Questions and Part II: Objective Structured Clinical Examination) are tests of clinical and applied knowledge.
5. Provincial licensing authorities necessitate linguistic proficiency, bridging programs, jurisprudential evaluations, and internships.

Document Evaluation (DE): The Initial Requirement for PEBC

What Candidates Need to Send in Their Applications

• Papers that show who you are
• Academic transcripts sent straight from the school to PEBC
• Proof of your home country’s licence status from the licensing authority
• Declarations required by law
