    I believe that you won't be able to practice legally until you obtain the number of credits that you need.
    Check with your College on this one.

    Hello, strings! Golfnorth might be right.........although your provincial licensing board might (hoping to retain members) grant you the ability to "catch up". I would contact them and be prepared for some humble pie!

    A online source, with some free con-ed if you're a member......and you should be!

    It's a link to the Opticians Association of Canada's educational portal...grab some con-ed hours from there to add to your total. Your province rules apply.

    You won't lose your licence - not right away anyways. They just won't approve your annual renewal without all the criteria in order. Eventually, non-renewal then leads to suspension, then suspension leads to revocation.

    Then trying to get it back you would have to do the board exams all over again which would not be a treat.
