I am currently an operator in Manitoba, not by being grandparented, but through examination. Is my certification recognized in Ontario?
All provinces except Quebec are members of the Association of Boards of Certification (ABC) which means that they all adhere to the same or similar certification model based on meeting education and experience qualifications and passing the appropriate certification exam. Therefore, in most situations, Ontario will recognize the validity of certificates issued. To apply for reciprocity, you must fill out the application form, found on the MOE Drinking Water website. On the form, you must indicate which certificates you have passed indicating that you acquired them through the passing of an examination, and attach a photocopy of the certificates in question. Ensure the appropriate fees are paid. The OWWCO will evaluate your submission and will secure written verification from the issuing province (Manitoba) to ensure that: such certificate is valid; there are no issues with respect to the certificate(s); and the certificate(s) was obtained through passing an ABC affiliated exam.
