To resign effective January 1, 2027:

You can resign your CMLTO registration for 2027 starting November 1, 2026. Your resignation will take effect on January 1, 2027. Log in using the steps described above. Under “I want to renew as”, select “Resigned”. You will be asked to confirm your decision and your reason for resigning. You must complete the Practice Timelines section to record the hours you worked in 2026. This information will be used if you reapply for CMLTO registration in the future. Please note that:

• Retirement from your employer does not affect your CMLTO registration. Practising Registrants must fulfill their professional obligations regardless of their employment status, including meeting the Quality Assurance Program requirements.
• When you resign your CMLTO registration, you can no longer legally use the protected title “Medical Laboratory Technologist” in Ontario.

If you do not complete the annual renewal or resignation processes by December 31st, you will be sent notice of CMLTO’s intention to suspend your registration.

Please note that, following the Board of Directors’ deliberation on the current proposed By-Law changes related to registration fees, there may be a phased increase in registration fees effective January 1, 2027. If you do not renew your registration by December 31st, late fees will apply in addition to the revised registration fee. Registrants were notified of this via email on September 17th and additional information is available here with more details.
