All corporations providing dental, physiotherapy, psychiatric nursing or pharmacy services in Yukon must register and hold a valid professional corporation permit. 

We accept new applications on an ongoing basis. You only need to apply once, but you must renew your permit every year.

Before you apply for a professional corporation permit you must have:

• completed the request for confirmation of eligibility form and received confirmation from Professional Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (PLRA); and
• incorporated your business or registered your extra-territorial corporation with Corporate Affairs.

If you or another director in your corporation has had any complaints, disciplinary or criminal action against you:

• we'll assess your eligibility for registration or licensure on a case-by-case basis; and
• you may not be approved for registration or or a permit.

It’s illegal to advertise or provide dental, physiotherapy, psychiatric nursing or pharmacy services through a corporation that's not registered and permitted.
