About The PEBC
What is the PEBC
The PEBC Exam, conducted by the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC), is a national certification process that evaluates the qualifications of international pharmacy graduates (IPGs) who wish to become licensed pharmacists in Canada. This certification ensures that your pharmacy education and professional knowledge align with Canadian standards of practice.
The PEBC certification process includes two key stages:
PEBC Evaluating Examination (EE)This is the first mandatory step for pharmacy graduates from outside Canada. The EE tests foundational knowledge in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and clinical sciences. It is a computer-based exam consisting of 140 multiple-choice questions, conducted via Prometric test centres worldwide and even available for remote proctoring.
PEBC Qualifying Examination (QE)After clearing the EE, candidates are eligible to appear for the QE, which is divided into two parts:
Part I (MCQ): A computer-based test assessing pharmaceutical knowledge, problem-solving, and clinical decision-making.
Part II (OSCE): An Objective Structured Clinical Examination conducted in-person in Canada. It evaluates practical skills, communication, and real-world pharmacy competencies through simulated patient interactions.
Why is the PEBC Exam Important?
Successfully passing the PEBC exams is essential for licensure as a pharmacist in Canada, regardless of the province you intend to work in. Whether you're from India, the Philippines, Nigeria, or the Middle East, PEBC certification opens doors to a high-paying, stable, and respected pharmacy career in Canada.
