To renew registration, dealers and salespersons must complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The CPD fee for OMVIC’s in-house courses is $99, payable 90 days before the registrant’s renewal date.
CPD delivery and maintenance require dedicated staffing, content development, licensing of a learning management system (LMS), and other ongoing costs. The CPD fee for OMVIC’s in-house courses has been designed specifically to recover the costs of delivering and administering CPD without diverting funds from OMVIC’s other core functions such as inspections, investigations, and consumer education.
Yes. Because completing CPD is a mandatory requirement for renewing your registration on or after July 1, 2026, the CPD fee for OMVIC’s in-house courses must be paid before you can access CPD. The only exception is for grandfathered registrants in their first renewal cycle after the launch of CPD, as they must complete the MVDA Key Elements course through Georgian College.
The $99 CPD fee for OMVIC’s in-house courses is based on a cost-recovery model. OMVIC reviewed projected expenses for delivering and maintaining CPD, including technology, ongoing content creation, staffing, and support, to set the fee to cover these costs without generating surplus revenue.
No. The CPD fee for OMVIC’s in-house courses is charged and payable by each registrant, individually.
Grandfathered registrants are not required to pay OMVIC’s CPD fee for in-house courses in their first renewal cycle after the launch of CPD because they will instead be required to pay for and complete the MVDA Key Elements course through Georgian College. In subsequent renewal cycles, they will be required to pay the OMVIC’s CPD fee for in-house courses like all other registrants.
Dealers will pay OMVIC’s CPD fee for in-house courses annually. Salespersons will pay the fee every two years, in alignment with their renewal cycle.
The fee is payable upon enrolment in the courses, up to 90 days before your renewal date, and is processed through OMVIC’s online portal.
No. OMVIC’s CPD fee for in-house courses must be paid separately through OMVIC’s online portal before you can access CPD. Because you must complete CPD before renewing your registration, the fee is payable in advance to allow time to complete the training and pass the assessment before your renewal date.
Yes. The fee is required for all registrants with renewal dates on or after July 1, 2026, regardless of whether the renewal is late. Late renewal fees would apply separately.
As of 2026, OMVIC does not anticipate changing the amount of its fee for in-house courses over the next four years. Any future increase beyond the rate of inflation would require OMVIC to follow the process and criteria set out in the Administrative Agreement between OMVIC and the Minister.
Once access to CPD is granted, the fee is generally non-refundable.
OMVIC is reviewing the applicable tax requirements for the fee. More information will be provided before CPD launches in April 2026.
No. If you have already paid the fee for your current cycle, you will not have to pay it again during the same cycle, regardless of the changes made to your registration.
