Before Annual Renewal Season Starts:

- Seek out and collect the necessary documents and/or information you require as part of your renewal process.
For Physician Licensure Renewal
- Know your current Learning Cycle start and end dates for your Continuing Medical Education programs, MainPro+ or MainPort/MOC.
- Have copies of your Completion Certificates from your CME program downloaded, if your end dates were either December 31, 2021 (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada) or June 30, 2022 (College of Family Physicians of Canada). For more information, please refer to DocTalk Article on Continuing Medical Education, from the March 2022 Issue.
For your Medical Corporation Permit Renewal
- Obtain copies of your Corporation Profile report from ISC Corporations Branch and the Articles of the Corporation, if you have made any changes.
- If you plan to lapse your licence or not renew for a full calendar year, please contact the CPSS in advance of the renewal cycle, to discuss your best options.
- To complete your renewal, have a personal computer with a good internet connection available. Mobile devices, smart phones, tablets, and iPads are not supported. Please also be aware that if you try to complete your renewal on a Saskatchewan Health Authority workstation, you may be unable to access the Renewal Portal, due to the firewall.
