How do I check if my psychiatrist is licensed in my province?

Checking whether a psychiatrist is licensed means looking them up on the public register of the college in the province or territory where they practise, not on a US board site and not on CADDRA. In Canada, physicians are licensed by the provincial or territorial college of physicians and surgeons, or by the CMQ in Quebec. That licence is the legal authority to practise medicine there.

The clinic bio made my psychiatrist sound official in a US way, and I was not sure that helped me in Ontario. I looked them up on the college site for this province and felt oddly relieved when the name matched, then immediately worried I had used the wrong spelling. I asked the office which register they expected patients to use. They did not make me feel dumb. I would not treat my search as proof about anyone else's clinician. It was just me trying to sleep the night before the follow-up.
