After considering the College’s financial requirements to perform regulatory operations required by legislation (registration, quality assurance, investigations and hearings), Council met on August 23, 2022, and approved the following fees for 2023:

• General Certificate – $897.00
• Inactive Certificate– $448.50

In the following years, the General Certificate fee will be increased by no more than $75 per year, and the Inactive Fee will be set at 50% of the General Certificate.

Council also approved increasing the application fee from $100 to $225. In addition to raising this fee in 2023, moving forward, the application fee will increase by the rate of inflation, rounded to the nearest dollar.

The proposed By-Law changes (i.e., to By-Law No. 7 – Fees) were circulated to registrants from May 19 to July 19, 2022. Thank you to the 2,350+ respondents who provided CMTO with feedback, including thoughtful suggestions about CMTO’s operations. A summary of feedback, including a letter from the Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of Ontario is available on CMTO’s website. Feedback on operations will be considered as Council develops its 2023-25 Strategic Plan this fall.

Registration renewal will open on September 30, 2022. RMTs should renew their registration by no later than November 1, 2022.

Thank you.
