Ontario license requirements
Completing Chiropractic College does not provide you with the license to practice. It is necessary to meet the requirements of each provincial regulatory body in order to receive your certificates of registration. Regulatory boards such as the College of Chiropractors of Ontario will generally require letters of reference, passing the CCO legislation and ethics examination, criminal screening, and an interview.
After successfully graduating from the CMCC, individuals wishing to seek licensing within Ontario must meet certain requirements within 2 years of graduation.
All chiropractors in Ontario must be members of the College of Chiropractors of Ontario (CCO).
To be considered for registration, you must apply to the CCO, as well as complete 3 examinations
