PEBC eligibility & application

PEBC certification is a pathway, not a single booking page. Your graduation jurisdiction determines the steps that come before the Qualifying Examination, and international-graduate rules are changing from January 2027.

APPLICATION PATH

Work through the route in the right order

  1. 01

    Start from the correct certification pathway

    Use PEBC's pathway for Canadian, U.S. or international graduates. Do not assume that another candidate's document-evaluation or Evaluating Examination steps apply to you.

  2. 02

    Confirm which examination parts you are eligible to apply for

    Part I (MCQ) and Part II (OSCE) have separate applications and schedules. PEBC requires both parts for pharmacist certification, but eligibility and sequencing depend on your file.

  3. 03

    International graduates should check the pathway transition

    PEBC has announced a new international-graduate pathway beginning in January 2027 and identifies October 2026 as the final Evaluating Examination. Candidates near the transition should verify their own status directly with PEBC.

  4. 04

    Read the candidate rules before exam day

    Part I and Part II use different delivery environments and admission rules. Confirm ID requirements, test-centre/remote instructions where applicable, prohibited materials and arrival times using current PEBC candidate information.
