Behaviour Analyst Autonomous Practice: Transitional Route 2

Transitional Routes 1 and 2 closed on June 30, 2026. Applications are no longer being accepted through these pathways. As of July 1, 2026, the only routes to registration are the Entry Level Route and the Labour Mobility Route.

The guidelines below are for applicants who applied before the deadline and are currently in the registration process.

Transitional Route #2 applicants (experienced Behaviour Analysts who have not earned BCBA or BCBA-D certification) applying for the Certificate of Registration for a Behaviour Analyst Authorizing Autonomous Practice must provide evidence satisfactory to 91视频 that they:

  • Practised as a Behaviour Analyst at any point within or during the three (3) years before the Regulation came into force, and that they engaged in practice in Canada, or in a jurisdiction that regulates behaviour analysts within the scope of practice of applied behaviour analysis for at least 1500 hours during the four-year period immediately before submitting their application, and
  • Are competent to practise as a Behaviour Analyst responsible for independent clinical decision-making.

Note:聽If you cannot provide evidence of the required experience and competence, your application cannot proceed through this route. You may instead apply for a Certificate of Registration for a Behaviour Analyst Authorizing Supervised Practice through the Entry Level Route.

Registration Committee Dates

PLEASE NOTE: This section only applies if your application has been referred to the Registration Committee for review. If you are applying for registration for the first time (Supervised Practice or Interim Autonomous Practice), your application is first reviewed by the Registrar, not the Registration Committee 鈥� these dates don鈥檛 apply to you.

If your file is scheduled for review by the Registration Committee and you need to submit additional information, it must be received at least 10 days in advance of the meeting date. Submissions should be emailed to [email protected] to the attention of the Registration Committee.

All submission deadlines are at 5 p.m. (ET).

Why is there a submission deadline?

91视频 needs time to process submissions, prepare materials and ensure the Committee can review everything in advance of their meeting. We often receive a high volume of submissions to the Registration Committee. Submitting early also gives staff time to follow up with you if anything needs clarification before it goes to the Committee.

The Registration Committee meets every other month. If you miss the submission deadline, your submission will be scheduled for the next available Committee meeting instead.

The temporary Transitional Routes 1 and 2 will close at 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2026.

At a minimum, you must meet all criteria and submit an application form and pay the application fee by the deadline to qualify for registration via one of the transitional routes. Specifically, applicants must receive BCBA certification for Transitional Route 1, or meet the practice currency and knowledge requirements for Transitional Route 2 by the deadline.

Supporting documentation will continue to be accepted after the deadline, e.g. BACB verification letter, transcript(s), and Vulnerable Sector Checks. However, if a complete application (i.e. application form, fee, and all supporting documentation) is not received within 2 years of submission of the application form, it will expire. For this reason, the College encourages applicants to submit the application form and fee, and order supporting documentation at the earliest opportunity.

After June 30, 2026, eligible applicants will still be able to complete the College鈥檚 Jurisprudence and Ethics Course and Assessment in Applied Behaviour Analysis (JECAABA) under both transitional routes. Those applying through Transitional Route 2 may also write the Ontario Examination for Professional Practice in Applied Behaviour Analysis (OEPPABA).
