The 2025 renewal period will open early November and end January 15, 2025. Watch for information in the BCIA monthly e-news, BCIA e-notices and the website for further details and to learn when payments can be made.
BCIA registrants must renew their registration AND finalize 2024 PD report including Practice Area(s) by the deadline of January 15, 2025 or late penalty fee(s) will be added to the invoice.
Best practices to prepare for the renewal process:
- Submit notification of any status change ASAP, i.e., change to or from "On Leave" status.
- Verify your current employer and work contact information; at least one contact detail must be entered and will be viewable to the public, per OSPG directives relating to the Professional Governance Act.
- Ensure all other contact information is accurate, including the primary account email address under 'Account Settings'.
- Reference the PD Guidelines and other related information.
- Enter all 2024 professional development (PD) activities in the BCIA profile by January 15, 2025, or a $75.00 late filing fee will apply (Board Approved).
- Check that required annual and three-year reporting period PD hour minimums are met.
- Declare your 2024 Practice Area(s).
- Expect a renewal declaration and PD declaration before payment of annual fees.
- Office staff cannot process a payment by phone, email, or mail until all pre-payment requirements are completed online, including the 2024 PD Report.
- Registration cards are self-generated; download under Invoices/Receipts after payment in the BCIA account.
