Choose Your Province and Register

The PEBC exam is the same in every province, so all provinces use one registration page. Choose your province on the registration form so we can follow your regulator's requirements. Start with the free diagnostic if you want to see where you stand first.

Pharmacy Exam Requirements in Canada

The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) runs the national Qualifying Examination. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians each write two parts: Part I (multiple choice, computer-based) and Part II (in-person OSCE for pharmacists, OSPE for technicians). Your provincial regulator then sets its own requirements, often including a jurisprudence exam.

ExamWho writes itOfficial formatCCEC mock exam
Pharmacist Qualifying Exam Part IGraduates of a CCAPP-accredited pharmacy degree (or final-year students), and international graduates with a valid PEBC Document Evaluation200 questions (150 scored, 50 pretest), 260 minutes, Prometric test centre or remote200 questions in 260 minutes
Pharmacy Technician Qualifying Exam Part IGraduates of a CCAPP-accredited technician program (or students before graduation), international technician graduates found eligible by PEBC, and holders of a valid PEBC Pharmacist Document Evaluation150 questions (120 scored, 30 pretest), two sections of 100 minutes150 questions in 200 minutes

Part II (OSCE and OSPE) is performance-based and is not covered by these mock exams. PEBC decides eligibility to write. PEBC offered its last Pharmacist Evaluating Examination in October 2026. Quebec (OPQ) does not require the PEBC exams and is not covered here. Facts checked on PEBC pages, 1 and 2 November 2026.

Reciprocity: Moving Between Provinces

Because the PEBC Qualifying Examination is national, you do not need to write it again to move to another province. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians licensed in one province can apply to another under labour mobility rules, but each regulator sets its own steps, usually a letter of standing from your current regulator and often its own jurisprudence exam.

  • Ontario: under Ontario's As of Right rules, from 1 January 2026 eligible pharmacists licensed elsewhere in Canada can start practising in Ontario while they complete registration. OCP still requires its Jurisprudence, Ethics and Professionalism exam, which cannot be exempted.
  • Manitoba: pharmacy technicians licensed in another Canadian jurisdiction apply with a letter of standing and record checks, and complete the CPhM jurisprudence modules and exam.
  • Other provinces: check the current steps with the regulator in the province you are moving to.

Reciprocity applies to a full licence you already hold. It does not replace the PEBC exam for a first licence.

Why Prepare with CCEC

100% online, at your pace

Everything runs in your browser, on your own schedule. No classes to attend and no travel. Your access email brings your link and code, and you can start the same day you are approved.

Built to the official exam format

Each mock exam follows the PEBC 2026 blueprint for your exam, with the same number of questions, the same time limit and the same mix of competency areas. All questions are original CCEC questions written to the blueprint; they are not real exam questions.

CCEC guarantee

Full Access and the Pharmacy Combo carry the CCEC guarantee: if you do not pass the official exam on your first attempt, you get one further access period, until your new exam date, at no charge. See Guarantee.

Clear value for each exam

CAD 29 buys a diagnostic, six area quizzes and a calculations quiz with explanations, and four full-length timed mock exams with four attempts each. CAD 49 adds eight attempts per mock, access to your exam date and the guarantee. CAD 89 covers both exams.

Four full mock exams from CAD 29The lowest-priced pharmacist mock exam package we found in November 2026 was CAD 159 for two mock exams without explanations, and the only paid online technician question bank we found was CAD 169. CCEC Standard Access gives you four full-length timed mocks, a diagnostic and every quiz for CAD 29.

Eligibility

Eligibility follows PEBC's requirements for the exam you select. To register you confirm that you:

  • meet, or will meet, PEBC eligibility to write the Qualifying Examination Part I;
  • can upload a valid government photo ID and proof of your PEBC exam eligibility or booking within 3 days (72 hours) of registering;
  • understand this is access to mock exams only, not a pharmacy program or the official exam;
  • will keep your access code for your own use.

PEBC decides whether and when you can write the official exam. Licensing requirements in your province are set by your pharmacy regulator, not by CCEC. These mock exams are separate from CCEC's Pharmacist Licensing Study Certificate and Pharmacy Assistants Study Certificate programs.

How It Works

1. Register

Choose your exam and access type and complete the form, including your province and the eligibility declaration. Pay online where a fee applies. Then upload a copy of your government photo ID and proof of your PEBC exam eligibility or booking using the Mock exam document upload form (the link is in your registration confirmation email), with the same email address you registered with, within 3 days (72 hours). With the Pharmacy Combo, upload PEBC eligibility or booking proof for either one of the two exams. An unpaid registration is cancelled automatically after 15 minutes; you can register again at any time.

2. Assessment

Your details and documents are checked against the eligibility requirements, usually within a few hours if everything is in order. If our Admissions team needs anything else, you are told exactly what to send and by when. If not approved, you are told why and any fee paid is refunded in full by the same payment method within 2 to 3 business days.

3. Access

Your access email brings the link to your mock exam pages, your access code and your access end date. Log in to the College learning portal and start with the diagnostic.

4. Prepare until exam day

Work through the area quizzes and the calculations quiz for your weakest areas, then sit the mock exams under exam conditions. Your result shows on screen as soon as you finish each test. Online students must meet the College System Requirements.

Policies

Eligibility and assessment

Eligibility follows the published requirements of the regulator or examining body for the exam you select. Every registration is assessed using the details, photo ID and exam booking or eligibility proof you submit. A free registration with missing details is cancelled and you may register again with complete details. A paid registration with missing details is held and you are told exactly what to send; if nothing is received within 3 days (72 hours) the registration is not approved.

Fees and refunds

If a paid registration is not approved, the fee is refunded in full by the same payment method within 2 to 3 business days. Once access has been granted, fees are non-refundable. Free Diagnostic Access has no fee. Fees for the official exams are paid to the exam provider or regulator, not to CCEC.

Access period

Free Diagnostic Access runs for one week from approval. Standard Access runs for 30 days from approval, or until your exam date if that comes first. Full Access and the Pharmacy Combo run from approval until your exam date.

Attempts and feedback

Each diagnostic allows one attempt. Area quizzes and the calculations quiz can be repeated as often as you like during your access period. Each mock exam allows four attempts with Standard Access and eight with Full Access. Every quiz answer has an explanation, and your score with a breakdown by competency area is shown on screen as soon as you finish each test.

Personal access

Your access code and access pages are issued to the person named at registration and work only with the email address you registered with. One registration per person per option; a different option is a new registration on the same event page.
