Terms, Conditions and Limitations (TCL)

Terms, conditions and limitations are restrictions placed on any certificate of registration. These restrictions may be imposed by regulation, such as preventing inactive Members from “engaging in the practice”, or imposed on a certificate of registration by one of the College’s statutory committees for example, as part of an order of the Discipline Committee. The Registration Committee may also place terms, conditions, or limitations on a certificate of registration at the time it is issued. This may include limiting the practice environment or the procedures which may be performed by a Respiratory Therapist in the General, Graduate, or Limited class.

The decision to place terms, conditions or limitations on a certificate of registration is made on an individual basis. Terms, conditions and limitations may be removed from a certificate of registration in a variety of ways including:

  • completing a preset time period;
  • submitting a request to, and receiving approval from, the committee which originally put the restrictions in place; and
  • meeting pre-set conditions, such as completing an educational course or providing acceptable evidence of competence to perform a procedure.
