The Commissioner for Admission to Professions, established by an Act of the Quebec National Assembly in December 2009, is tasked with receiving and examining complaints against professional orders concerning the operation of the mechanisms for recognition.
The Commissioner takes a critical, independent and impartial look at the situation of applicants trained outside Quebec, how the applicant’s file was handled by the Order that forms the subject of the complaint and the operation of the mechanism complained about.
After the Commissioner completes its examination of a complaint against a professional order, it issues findings and, if necessary, makes recommendations. Although the Commissioner for Admission to Professions cannot reverse a decision, the Commissioner can recommend that an applicant’s file be reviewed.
