Fair Registration Practices Act : 2020 baseline questionnaire summary

Description

The Fair Registration Practices Act (FRPA) came into force on March 1, 2020, as part of the Government of Alberta’s commitment to improve the assessment of qualifications in over 170 regulated professions, designated occupations or trades. Regulatory bodies that oversee regulated professions, designated occupations or trades are required to ensure that their registration practices are transparent, objective, impartial and procedurally fair and applications decisions are made in a timely manner. A baseline questionnaire was sent to regulatory bodies to learn how the FRPA could or is being implemented within their organization. Their responses were compiled and assessed against eight indicators included in the Fair Registration Practices Code, embedded within the FRPA which will be used to inform current and future work of the Fairness for Newcomers Office.
