A massage therapist formerly registered in B.C. has agreed to a disciplinary order from the province’s regulatory college after admitting he made a “false declaration” when renewing his licence in 2023. Jin Song Li entered the consent order with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of B.C. earlier this month, and the document was published online this week. According to the order, Li learned in May or June 2023 that a complaint had been filed against him with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. The consent order does not specify what the Ontario complaint was about. Rather, it goes on to explain that, when renewing his licence with the College of Massage Therapists of B.C. that December, Li did not report the Ontario complaint. The CMTBC was amalgamated with several other professional colleges to form the CCHPBC in 2024. “As part of his renewal application, the respondent selected ‘no’ in response to the following declaration,” the consent order reads, before quoting the declaration: “In the past year, I have been the subject of a complaint, investigation, disciplinary action or finding, including a consent resolution, by a regulatory or licensing body, relating to the practice of a profession.” In the consent order, Li admits that this amounts to making a false declaration and constitutes professional misconduct. He agrees to a reprimand, an undertaking not to repeat the conduct, and remedial education should he ever seek reinstatement as a massage therapist in B.C. The college’s online directory lists Li as a former RMT since Jan. 1, 2025. Before that, he had been “non-practising” since Dec. 5, 2023. A man named Jin Song Li is currently authorized to practise in Ontario, according to the CMTO’s directory. There are no other entries for that name in the Ontario directory, and the man is listed as having previously worked as an RMT in B.C.
