MLT Hours Worked:
You can either enter the hours worked to date or, if possible, please estimate the hours worked by December 31.

Professional Liability Insurance (PLI):
The CSMLS has a PLI insurance plan for their members that meets the CMLTA PLI requirements. Please note that CSMLS exclusively offers PLI to its members, so obtaining this insurance will require becoming a CSMLS member, which currently costs $179, in addition to the insurance premium of $28 ($207 total). The CSMLS plan also includes liability coverage of up to $5,000,000 per occurrence and disciplinary expense coverage up to $50,000 if you are the subject of a complaint of unprofessional conduct. Click here for more information about the CSMLS PLI program. Insurance can be purchased through their member portal.

Private insurance providers may also be able to offer you coverage. The costs for PLI through private insurance providers will vary.

Your employer’s policy may meet the PLI requirements. We have confirmed that AHS/APL insurance will meet the current CMLTA PLI requirements. However, employers have noted that there will be no coverage should you be the subject of a complaint of unprofessional conduct.

Recent Graduates with Provisional MLT Practice Permits:
Before starting your renewal for 2026, please remember to upload a copy of your CSMLS Statement of Examination Results or Certificate and a copy of your MLT diploma/degree in your member profile under “Change My Registration” to be upgraded to a full-standing Practice Permit. Official e-transcripts stating the date the MLT diploma/degree is awarded will be accepted in lieu of a diploma/degree.

Did you join the CMLTA this year?
If you just joined the CMLTA this year, you must complete your Continuing Competence Program (CCP) requirements for this year before renewing for next year. This means you must create a learning plan for 2025 AND complete it before renewing.

Legislated Deadline for Registration and MLT Practice Permit Renewal:
Anyone who fails to renew by the December 31 deadline will have their practice permit immediately suspended and will not be able to work as an MLT until they renew. In this circumstance, the CMLTA will send a notification to the employer after January 1, 2026, indicating the individual must cease working as an MLT immediately until they are in possession of a valid registration and MLT Practice Permit and provide evidence of such to their employer.

Individuals who renew their practice permit late (on or after January 1, 2026) will be subject to a $225 admin fee. Individuals practicing on or after January 1, 2026, without a 2026 registration and MLT Practice Permit are in contravention of the Health Professions Act and may be subject to a complaint of unprofessional conduct, including discipline sanctions.

Retiring/Moving Out of Province/Leave of Absence:
MLTs whose employment status has changed and will not be renewing their registration and MLT Practice Permit for 2026 must notify the CMLTA by submitting a Notice of Non-Practice through their member profile on their Home Page under “Change My Registration.”

REMINDERS:

• A completed renewal is submitted before payment is made. If the renewal meets our “auto-approved” requirements, you will be taken directly to the payment screen. If your renewal requires an admin review, you will not be required to submit a payment at the time of submission. Once your renewal is reviewed and approved, you will then be required to submit payment. If the CMLTA requires additional information regarding your renewal, the request will show in your profile when you log in, so please check your profile daily for messages regarding your renewal.
• If you have been using your work or school email address to log into your CMLTA profile, we recommend changing it to a personal email address as security settings tend to block CMLTA emails.
• Payment may only be made by VISA or MasterCard.
• Those choosing to renew mid-December should not expect a 2026 registration and MLT Practice Permit by December 31, 2025.
• To ensure timeliness and fairness, and to meet fiduciary responsibilities, the CMLTA uses electronic means (email) as the primary source for all communication. All regulated members are responsible for receiving, reviewing, and, where necessary, responding to all communications from the CMLTA.

  NOTE: The CMLTA office will be closed from December 23 to January 1.
