Labour Mobility Applicants

Regulation varies from province to province, but in Alberta, medical radiation technologists (MRTs) and electroneurophysiology technologists (ENPs) are governed by the Health Professions Act (HPA). As per this legislation, every person who practices radiological technology, nuclear medicine technology, magnetic resonance technology, electroneurophysiology technology or radiation therapy in Alberta must hold valid and current registration with the Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists (the College).

If you are relocating to Alberta from another province or territory in Canada, there are two main methods by which you can apply for registration: labour mobility and non-labour mobility.

The labour mobility process is for those individuals who are registered to practice in radiological, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine or magnetic resonance technology in a Canadian province where that specialty is regulated.

Follow this process if you have:

active registration to practice at the time of applying for registration in Alberta in one of the specialties in the provinces listed in the table below,
are moving to Alberta,
and want to practice as an MRT here.

If this registration process applies to you, it is important that you do not resign your current license to practice until the ACMDTT can confirm the active status of your registration. If you resign prior to your Alberta registration being approved, you will have to submit a new application using the Non-Labour Mobility process.

Current province/territory of practice or training	Specialties to which labour mobility provisions may apply
Saskatchewan	Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonance
Ontario	Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonance
Quebec	Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy
New Brunswick	Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonanc
Nova Scotia	Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonance

If you are unable to find your specialty or province/territory in the table above or if you are not currently registered with the provincial regulatory authority in your home jurisdiction, please apply using the non-labour mobility process.

The College is committed to being transparent, objective, impartial and procedurally fair in our application process. Please see the Additional Registration Information page for more information.

If you’re not sure you meet the requirements or if you have any questions, please feel welcome to contact the College by email at registration@acmdtt.com or by phone at 780.487.6130 or 1.800.282.2165.
