After being refused registration, how long must a person typically wait to reapply?

In the context of the OMVIC regulations, if a registration application is refused, the individual is typically required to wait for a period of two years before they can reapply for registration. This waiting period serves as a measure to ensure that applicants have adequate time to address any issues that may have led to the initial refusal. It also reflects a commitment to maintaining industry integrity, as it allows sufficient time for individuals to demonstrate that they have rectified any shortcomings or complied with necessary regulations before seeking to re-enter the market.

Waiting periods of one, three, or five years would be too long for individuals looking to re-establish their eligibility, thus the set duration of two years strikes a balance between allowing individuals the opportunity to improve and protecting consumers by ensuring that only qualified individuals are registered.
