The safety of our members, staff and visitors is our top priority, which is why our physical office remains closed.

The College continues to conduct business virtually, including processing applications, as quickly as possible, although with some delays.

Our contact centre is open virtually to assist you from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, at 416.961.8800 (toll-free in Ontario at 1.888.534.2222).

In addition, our social media team is active and is responding during this same period on Facebook, Twitter,Instagram, YouTube, Linkedin and Pinterest.

Our e-Services, online application form and other online services continue to be available, and you can still send mail to our attention.

As well, our Council and committees continue to meet, though meetings are being held virtually.

We have taken these measures to limit the transmission of COVID-19 in compliance with the prevention measures outlined by the federal, provincial and municipal governments.
