Pharmacists’ Gateway Canada

Pharmacists’ Gateway Canada (Gateway) offers international pharmacy graduates (IPGs) who wish to practise pharmacy in Canada a central place where they can find the most current, complete, and accurate licensing information. Gateway outlines the licensure process and guides IPGs through every step in the process for each province and territory, starting with helping them to identify what requirements they can complete before they even arrive in Canada.

NAPRA administers Gateway on behalf of its members, the pharmacy regulatory authorities across Canada.


NAPRA Diagnostic Tool and Learning Modules (DTLM)

The NAPRA Diagnostic Tool and Learning Modules (DTLM) is an online learning program that addresses knowledge and skills gaps in the following three areas relevant to pharmacy practice in Canada:

  • Knowledge of the Canadian healthcare system;
  • Cultural diversity and awareness; and
  • Professional communication.

Originally developed as a resource for international pharmacy graduates (IPGs), the DTLM is now available to IPGs as well as Canadian-educated pharmacy professionals and pharmacy students who wish to increase their understanding of the knowledge and skills required for pharmacy practice in a Canadian setting and/or to prepare to meet the requirements of the pharmacy regulatory authorities for licensure in their respective jurisdiction.

More information on the DTLM – including topics covered in each learning module, registration cost and process, and feedback from program participants – is available on the DTLM program page.
