There must be no other certificate of registration for which the applicant is qualified which could be issued by the College within less time or within a similar time period as it will take the College to issue an emergency class certificate. 3.

The applicant must satisfy the non-exemptible registration requirement for a general certificate of registration as set out in paragraph 2 of subsection 5 (1). 5.  Subject to subsection (3), the applicant must have completed a total of 750 hours of patient care or related work, or any combination of them, in any jurisdiction in the profession for which the applicant has submitted an application, during the three years immediately preceding the date on which the College receives an application from the applicant for the issuance of an emergency certificate of registration. 6.  Where the applicant was a previous holder of a general certificate of registration with the College and such certificate was not revoked by the Discipline Committee, it has been no more than five years since their general certificate of registration was surrendered. 7.  Where the applicant holds a non-practising certificate of registration, it has been no more than five years since the certificate was issued by the College. 8.  Where the applicant holds an out-of-province certificate, as defined in subsection 22.15 (1) of the Health Professions Procedural Code, the applicant must provide the College with one or more certificates or letters, or other evidence satisfactory to the Registrar, establishing that the applicant is in good standing as either an audiologist or speech-language pathologist in every jurisdiction where the applicant holds an out-of-province certificate.
