Practicing Registrant Requesting a Change of Status

This form is used when a practicing registrant would like to change their status to an 'On Leave' category or 'Retired' status. A practicing registrant can go on leave for a maximum of three (3) years. A registrant has three (3) years from the date of resignation to reinstate their registration if they have resigned in good standing.

After three years a resigned registrant must begin the application process as a new registrant again. If the resigned registrant has retained active professional status with another provincial regulator, use the 'Transfer Into BCIA or Dual Registration" forms to reapply to BCIA.

Resignation in Good Standing

Registrants wishing to resign from BCIA must complete the Resignation in Good Standing form below. This avoids any additional penalties should you return to BCIA in the future.

As a resigned registrant, you may make an application to reinstate within three (3) years of the resignation date upon payment of the pro-rated annual registration fee plus a reinstatement fee for the year in which you seek reinstatement. After three (3) years of the resignation date, you must submit a new application for registration. No refunds or credits are given on annual dues already paid. All registrants leaving BCIA will have their name listed under 'Former BCIA Registrants' as per the Professional Governance Act.
