Conditional Registration

You may apply to be added to the Conditional Register after your application has been assessed and you have been advised that you are eligible to write the CAMLPR Entry-to-Practice Examinations. This will allow you to practice (with restrictions) as a medical laboratory technologist while you are preparing to write the CAMLPR exams or are waiting for the results of the exams.

If you do not wish to practice during this time, or if you are not in Canada during this time, you do not need to be added to the Conditional Register.

All exam candidates must meet CMLTM BOA-17 Language Proficiency requirement to be approved to write the exam.

If you are eligible to write the examination, you must write it within two (2) years of being notified that you are eligible. You may write the exam up to three times, which must be at consecutive examination dates, or you will have to provide an acceptable explanation if you will be unable to attend consecutive examinations.
