Permit to Practice Applicants
Section 8(2) of the Act, 2008 requires that any entity that provides the services of a professional member to the public must have a Permit to Practice.
Permits to Practice are issued in accordance with the provisions of the Act, 2008 and the Regulations, 2011. Section 8(2) of the Act, 2008 requires that any entity that provides the services of a professional member to the public must have a Permit to Practice.
Permits to practice are issued by discipline. A permit holder must have a permit in each discipline in which they are offering services to the public. PEGNL has a listing of recognized disciplines and sub-disciplines.
Professional Liability Insurance Requirement
All permit to practice holders must carry professional liability insurance in accordance with section 12(3) of the Act, 2008. Proof of up-to-date insurance coverage is required to receive or renew a permit to practice. Refer to PEGNL’s Professional Liability Insurance By-Law for more information on insurance requirements.
Insurance certificate examples are available for reference HERE.
Member in Responsible Charge Requirement
Permit to practice holders are required to identify a Member in Responsible Charge, as defined in the Regulations, 2011, who is licensed and in good standing with PEGNL.
A Member in Responsible Charge (MIRC) is required for each discipline for which the permit to practice is issued. The MIRC is an employee or associate of the organization who is a professional member of PEGNL and who undertakes to provide responsible direction and personal oversight in a specific discipline of professional practice in which the member is personally competent. The Member in Responsible Charge agrees to oversee the professional practice for which they have assumed responsibility in strict accordance with the requirements of relevant legislation.
Part-time practice is permitted. If the MIRC has a commitment to another employer(s) or firm(s), written approval of the arrangement must be provided to PEGNL by each of the member’s employers.
