2023 MLT Renewal Dues - Renew Early and Save!

September 15 – October 31: $400

Changes to the 2023 Renewal Process 

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, then you will 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.

The jurisprudence exam must be completed prior to renewing, but it’s not an actual step in the renewal process. Click on the exam on your homepage before submitting your renewal. If you already completed the jurisprudence exam at any point this year, you do not have to complete it again for renewal.

MLT Hours Worked: Due to the changeover in registration systems, you will be required to input your hours for the previous 3 years worked.

Legislated Deadline for Registration and MLT Practice Permit Renewal

Individuals working without a valid registration and MLT practice permit after December 31 are in contravention of the Health Professions Act (HPA) and shall be subject to sanctions under the HPA and an additional $500 payment to the CMLTA.
