Apply for a review

An applicant has 30 days from the date they receive a registration decision from the Credentials Committee to submit a written request for a review of that decision – a “Review on the Record”.

  • Within 14 days of receiving request, the Registrar must appoint a Panel, which includes the Registrar, Deputy Registrar, and one lay member. The panel will review the decision.
  • Within 30 days of completing review, the Panel must provide summary reasons to the Applicant and Credentials Committee.

For more information on “Review on the Record”, please refer to Bylaws 4.4–4.11 of the AIBC Bylaws. If you have any questions, please contact registration@aibc.ca.
