Amending O. Reg. 596/94

(General)

1. Paragraph 4 of subsection 53 (1) Ontario Regulation 596/94 is amended by striking out “Immigration Act (Canada)” and substituting “Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada)”.

2. (1) Subsection 54 (6) of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:

(6) Subject to subsections (7), (8) and (9), the requirements in subsections (2) and (4) are non-exemptible.

(2) Section 54 of the Regulation is amended by adding the following subsections:

(8) An applicant is exempt from the requirements of subsections (2) and (4) if,

(a) the applicant,

(i) is registered with a statutory regulator of practitioners of respiratory therapy in another jurisdiction in Canada and has a general or full registration status that is not subject to individual terms, conditions or limitations, or

(ii) is a member of a professional association of practitioners of respiratory therapy in another jurisdiction in Canada that does not have a statutory regulatory body for practitioners of respiratory therapy, if the professional association is recognized by the Registration Committee and the applicant has a general or full membership status in the professional association that is not subject to individual terms, conditions or limitations;

(b) the applicant has safely practised the profession in that jurisdiction, with the general or full registration or membership status that is not subject to individual terms, conditions or limitations, for at least 720 hours within the four years before the date of the application; and

(c)   the occupational standards and requirements for practitioners of respiratory therapy who are registered in that jurisdiction or who are members of a recognized professional association in that jurisdiction, as the case may be, are, in the opinion of the Registration Committee, substantially equivalent to those for respiratory therapists registered in Ontario.

(9) An applicant who would meet the requirements of subsection (8) except for having a registration or membership status that is subject to individual terms, conditions or limitations is exempt from the requirements of subsections (2) and (4) and may be registered with similar terms, conditions or limitations if the Registration Committee believes that to do so would be in the public interest.
