Why We Developed the Gateway
For international pharmacy graduates who wish to practise pharmacy in Canada, the Gateway is a tool that makes it easier to find important information regarding the steps to be licensed as a pharmacist in Canada. Created by the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities in collaboration with the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada and with initial funding from Employment and Social Development Canada, Pharmacists’ Gateway Canada provides a central place to find licensing information, offers self-assessment tools, and establishes a confidential national document repository for international pharmacy graduates.
Informative. Easy. Practical. Educational. Client-centered.
Territorial Acknowledgement
NAPRA primarily works from Ottawa, which is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation. The peoples of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation have lived on this territory for millennia. Their culture and presence have nurtured and continue to nurture this land. We honour the peoples and land of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation and strive to stand in solidarity and reconciliation with them. As the alliance of the provincial and territorial pharmacy regulatory authorities across Canada as well as the Canadian Forces Health Services, we acknowledge the ancestral and unceded territory of all Inuit, Métis, and First Nations peoples that call this land home. We honour them and their past and present stewardship of this land.
