Registration Classes
The Medical Laboratory Technology Act, 1991, governs the profession of medical laboratory technology, and under Ontario Regulation 207/94 defines the registration categories for CMLTO members.
There are two classes of registration with the CMLTO:
- Practising – Registrants have met all the requirements of the CMLTO (education, examination, active engagement in the profession) and are able to practise without restriction.
- Non-practising – Registrants have met the CMLTO registration requirements, but are not permitted to practise.
- Emergency – Emergency certificates are only issued when the Ministry of Health or the CMLTO Board of Directors declares an emergency. Please contact the CMLTO to confirm if an emergency was declared prior to registering in this class.
For detailed information about registration requirements for Practising and Non-practising classes, click here (PDF).
