All applicants pay a $105 file application fee. In the temporary licence category, you pay by the month. The cost is $27.50/month to a maximum of 3 months. Licensing fees for the full practicing licence category are $330 for the full licensing year and $165 half year rate if after October 1. If you resign from SDA before October 1, you are eligible to receive a refund of half of your licensing fee. If you are writing the Canadian Dietetic Registration Exam, there is a $600 exam fee.
A late fee is charged when SDA membership renewals are received after March 31. Since the license to practice expires on March 31, renewals need to be received on time to ensure there is no gap. A late fee helps to ensure renewals arrive on time and if they don’t, it offsets the administrative costs involved.
A Temporary Licence is limited to full practising dietitians in good standing with a Canadian dietetic regulatory body who require licensure with SDA for a short period of time (not exceeding three months). For example, a dietitian from another province who provides virtual nutrition counselling in Saskatchewan to residents of Saskatchewan would need to obtain a temporary licence to practice in Saskatchewan.
