Whether you graduated from an accredited pharmacy program in
Ontario or you are a foreign graduate the most important resources that will
guide you through the process of becoming a pharmacist in Ontario are the
Ontario College of Pharmacists website (http://www.ocpinfo.com/)
and the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada website (http://www.pebc.ca/index.php/ci_id/3374/).
The OCP site has all the information regarding
the requirements for becoming a pharmacist in Ontario. 
This
information is vital. I used it as my blueprint to ensure that I had met all
requirements. After graduation some will need to complete a studentship, then
there is the internship and there are also the three major required exams (a
fourth Pharmacist Evaluating Examination is required if you are a foreing
graduate). I really recommend you check out the OCP website.
This
site also has vital information for the required jurisprudence exam (http://www.ocpinfo.com/client/ocp/OCPHome.nsf/web/Jurisprudence).
You can apply online for the exam and there PDF files with all the relevant
jurisprudence presentation slides, an exam blueprint and also sample questions.
The
PEBC website is also an essential tool
since it is the primary resource regarding the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination
and the Pharmacist Qualifying Examination (both the Multiple Choice Exam and
the OSCE Practical Exam).
You
can apply to these exams online through this website. This website also vital
resources like sample exam questions, sample OSCE scenarios, learning resources
and even an examination blueprint (http://www.pebc.ca/index.php/ci_id/3139/la_id/1.htm).
I cant stress enough how important all of this is.
These
two websites are very important and I think it’s a good idea to check them out
early in order to get the most out of them.
