Practising Outside Ontario

If you are applying for registration as an occupational therapist (OT) in another province and would like to apply under the labour mobility provisions, please complete the following steps:

1. Print the Labour Mobility Support Agreement (LMSA) Form from the website of the organization where you are applying.
2. Complete COTO’s Request for a Letter of Professional Standing Form along with the LMSA form. We do not complete regulatory history forms. This form will be completed instead.
3. Fill in the “Authorization for Release of Information” portions of both forms and email completed forms to registration@coto.org. The registration team will send you a link to pay the LMSA fee (processing fee of $45.20 ($40 + HST).

Processing will not begin until payment has been received. Please allow at least one week for processing.

The College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario does not complete forms provided by other organizations. If you require a letter confirming your professional standing with the College be sent to another organization, please complete the College’s Request for a Letter of Professional Standing Form and submit the request form to our registration team. There is no fee for this service. Please allow at least one week for processing.

All of the above requests may be sent to the College via fax to 416-214-0851 or email to registration@coto.org.
