The Board will be collecting additional demographic data during the 2025 renewal to better understand the diversity of its registrants. The Boad has implemented the revised data set established by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) which includes collecting information about racialized groups/ethnicity and Indigenous identity. This revised data collection is a significant step towards gaining a deeper understanding about the diversity of the occupational therapy profession in Newfoundland and Labrador. By collecting detailed data from our registrants, NLOTB aims to enhance its regulatory practices, support the growth and development of the profession, and ultimately better serve the public. This information is provided on a voluntary basis.

Vulnerable Sector Check Requirement fo 2025 Renewal
APPLY NOW as it may take up to 12 weeks to obtain the results.
On March 13, 2024, the Board implemented a requirement for a Vulnerable Sector Check for licensing.
Timelines:
Required for 2025 Renewal and every 5 years following.
The Board uses the results of the Vulnerable Sector Check to verify the registrant’s good conduct eligibility in fitting with the mandate of public protection. A conduct history does not automatically result in a denial of registration. Conduct histories with findings will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Registration Committee.
Important Information:
Depending on where you live, it may take 1 to 12 weeks, or longer, to obtain the results of a Vulnerable Sector Check. As a license will not be renewed until results are received, we suggest applying for the Vulnerable Sector Check well in advance of your required licensing date. The Board accepts Vulnerable Sector Checks produced between September 1, 2024 and Feb 28, 2025.
The Vulnerable Sector Check must be completed on all the names you currently use and have used in the past and the information on the Check must match the information provided to the Board during the application process. This includes previous names, date of birth, etc.
If the information does not match, the Vulnerable Sector Check will not be accepted by the Board. Applicants/Registrants must be prepared to provide the original document to the Board, if requested.
