Have you allowed your OACETT membership to lapse?  Do you want to join OACETT again?

Choose the scenario that best describes you below and discover how to become a member again. 

You may apply for reinstatement to OACETT if you resigned your membership or the association withdrew your membership within the last five years. To apply for reinstatement, log into OACETT's online member portal and click the "Reinstate Now" button.

If you do not see the button or do not have a portal login, or you have forgotten your login credentials, contact us at info@oacett.org or call 416-621-9621 ext. 226 or 241 for assistance. 

Please see the screenshot below for further assistance in locating the "Reinstate Now" button once you're inside your account on the landing page.

Once we receive your reinstatement application, we will review your previous file for outstanding continuous professional development (CPD) or certification requirements and inform you, should you need to complete anything before proceeding with the reinstatement.  

If you previously held a designation of A.Sc.T. or Certified Engineering Technician, which OACETT no longer awards, you will be returned to membership at the equivalent current certification of Certified Technician (C.Tech.). 

As part of your reinstatement application, you will be invoiced the reinstatement fee of $116.39 and applicable dues. The reinstatement fee is non-refundable. If your reinstatement application is unsuccessful, your dues payment will be refunded. 
 
Applying for reinstatement is not an instantaneous process. OACETT's acceptance of the reinstatement fee and dues does not constitute acceptance of your reinstatement. Once your reinstatement application is complete, your application must be approved by OACETT. This process could take 4 to 6 weeks. Only after OACETT approval will your membership be reinstated. 

You will also be informed of any applicable certification or CPD timelines that must be followed.


If you passed the Professional Practice Exam (PPE) previously, you do not need to write it again. If you were originally certified prior to 1995, you will not have written the PPE which is a requirement for re-entry. In its place we ask that you review the PPE Study Guide and respond to the Registrar by email within six months that you have done so.

If you are a member holding retired status, you do not need to write the PPE. 

If you are a former member who has been resigned for more than five years, you must reapply as a new member. Although you were a prior member, you will need to submit new documents such as transcripts, a resume and job descriptions to support your application in order to return to membership. 

After all required documentation is received, together with references, your complete file will be sent to the Admissions Committee for a file review.  This takes about 4 months, and after this has been completed, any outstanding requirements will be identified.
