Date: 05/02/2025

In August 2024, CAMLPR announced it would take over the development and administration of competency profiles, exams, and prior learning assessments for MLTs in Canada. Most provinces have approved CAMLPR as their exam provider; however, Alberta has chosen to continue using CSMLS as we monitor the implementation of CAMLPR exams in other provinces. Click here to read the announcement and the reasons behind the decision.

Treaty 6

We wish to acknowledge that the land on which the CMLTA office is located is Treaty 6 territory and a traditional meeting ground for many Indigenous people. This is home to the Cree, Blackfoot, and Metis, as it is for the Nakoda, Tsuu T’ina, Chipewyan, and other Indigenous people. Their spiritual and practical relationships to the land create a rich heritage for our life as a community.
