There are two scenarios in which the CPSO will recognize your certification in lieu of a CFPC examination and issue you a certificate of registration:

1. You may be issued a restricted certificate of registration to practice independently limited to your scope of practice if you have a medical degree from an acceptable medical school and have:
   • Successfully obtained certification without examination by the CFPC.
2. You may be issued an independent practice certificate of registration if you have a medical degree from an acceptable medical school and have:
   • Successfully obtained certification without examination by the CFPC; and
   • Successfully completed Part 1 of the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination or obtained the LMCC.
