The transfer note is issued by the college where the pharmacist is registered, based on an application. Before issuing the transfer note, the requesting pharmacist is required to pay up to date the membership fee due to the college from which they wish to leave. The transfer note will be handed, under signature, to the applicant. In the pharmacist registry, the college to which the pharmacist has transferred will be specified. If a complaint against the pharmacist has been registered at the college from which the pharmacist is transferring, or if a disciplinary investigation has been initiated, the complaint, respectively the disciplinary file, will be sent to the college to which the pharmacist is transferring.
