Registration for Canadian-Trained Applicants


For new graduates of an accredited dietetic practical training program in Canada who are planning on practicing in Prince Edward Island, an application for initial registration with College of Dietitians of Prince Edward Island (CDPEI) is required.

Dietitian Candidate registration is for those who meet all requirements except for passing the Canadian Dietetic Registration Examination (CDRE). This allows you to work in Prince Edward Island as a Dietitian Candidate, with mentorship, from when your application is approved until 8 weeks after the next exam or until you receive CDRE results. For more information on mentorship see the Dietitian Candidate Welcome Letter.

Once registered, you may use the title Registered Dietitian (Candidate) and initials RD (Candidate).
