A question regarding becoming a tech

by Catherine
(Portland, ME, USA)

I am currently a Certified Pharmacy Technician in Portland, Maine. I am thinking very seriously of moving to Vancouver, BC, and would like to know what I need to do to become a licensed pharmacy technician in Canada. Also, would my PTCB certification be recognized in Canada or is their another exam I would need to take to become certified? Thanks for your help.

There is a Canadian Tech Certification exam that you will have to take. There are eligibility requirements you will need to meet, as well as knowledge requirements also.

For a lot more information about becoming a pharmacy technician in Canada, please visit Pharmacy Tech Resources: Canada Pharmacy Technician.

The page at the link above also includes information about How Pharmacy works in Canada, Canadaian pharmacy tech's Earnings, and Prescription Insurance in Canada.

Thank you for the question!
