Pharmacist Licence Renewal

Annual Licence Renewal

Pharmacists practicing in Manitoba must be registered and licensed with the College of Pharmacists of Manitoba (CPhM). CPhM licensing year is January 1 to December 31 and licences are renewed annually. Renewal runs from early October until November 15 each year.  Late penalty fees are assessed after the deadline.

To be eligible for licence renewal, you must

• meet requirements for continuing professional development;
• practice for a minimum of 600 hours in the previous three-year period;
• retain professional liability insurance providing a minimum of $2,000,000 per claim or per occurrence and a minimum $4,000,000 annual aggregate; and
• have a current Criminal Record Check (including Vulnerable Sector Search) and Adult and Child Abuse Registry Checks. After initial registration and licensing with CPhM, these record and registry checks must be updated every five years.

Licence Fees

CPhM Council approves the licensing fees associated with the various licence categories on a yearly basis. You can also find application fees on all licence application forms. The current fee schedule is located here.

All fees are non-refundable.
