Courtesy Register Regulated Member

• Required for speech-language pathologists and audiologists from outside of Alberta who will be providing professional services in Alberta for a limited number of specific purposes. A complete listing of the acceptable purposes for courtesy registration is available here.
• These regulated members may use the protected titles of their profession.
• Granted only for the time you need to complete the professional services in Alberta, up to a combined total of twelve months.

More information on the cross-provincial practice agreement can be found here.

• Be registered or licensed to practice in a jurisdiction[1] outside of Alberta, or a regulated member in good standing with an appropriate regulatory body if applying for a cross-provincial practice permit.
• Demonstrate, to the Registrar’s satisfaction, that you are trained and qualified to practice in your profession.
