If you completed your CME learning cycle on December 31, 2021 for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) or June 31, 2022 for the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), you will be required to upload your Completion Certificates in order to be able to renew your licence this fall.
Many of you are scheduled to end your cycle this year, so please ensure to make note of your cycle dates and make sure to obtain your required documents prior to this year’s renewal.
Below is a sample image of each document required for the CFPC (MainPro) and the RCPSC (MOC), respectively, to help you know which certificate you are looking for. You can download your Completion Certificates from your respective learning portals.
Interested in building your Supervision Experience?
Serving as a Supervisor helps to build our provincial capacity to provide safe, high quality health care services to our patients. If you have been practising with a regular licence for a period of three years or more, you may meet our requirements to serve as a supervisor.
Who would you supervise? Supervision is a requirement for all physicians who have been issued a provisional licence. This includes new graduates who have not yet achieved all their examinations, and International Medical Graduates who have either completed the Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA) Program or an equivalent pre-licensure assessment and have been granted a provisional licence. Your supervision will allow these physicians to engage in independent medical practice while they prepare to write their examinations or strive to complete their Summative Assessment, with the ultimate goal of achieving regular licensure.

On January 20, 2022, the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) announced the launch of its new Licentiate of Medical Council of Canada (LMCC) service. This signals that the MCC is ready to process LMCC requests for candidates who meet the established criteria.
If you meet the criteria, you can request and pay the LMCC Application fee through your physiciansapply.ca account. Through this portal, the MCC will issue the LMCC.
For more information on the new LMCC service, please see the MCC Website and FAQs.
While the CPSS will have access to verify that you have been awarded the LMCC through physiciansapply.ca, we will not receive notice from either the MCC or from physiciansapply.ca. As such, we ask that you please email cpssreg-assess@cps.sk.ca to inform us if you have been awarded your LMCC, as this may have a positive impact on your current licensure status.
Due to the high volume of requests made, there may be a delay in responding and reviewing your file to determine if this credential has an impact on your current licensure status. We thank you in advance for your patience.
