How to register for practice

The process to become registered to practice audiology in Manitoba is rigorous. Due to the wide range in scope of practice, the standards for entry into the profession are relatively high in our province.

First step

The first step to take as an internationally educated audiologist seeking credential recognition in Manitoba is to review the information provided by the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Manitoba (CASLPM), the provincial regulator for both the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology. They can assist you with questions related to the registration process.

There is no program for audiology offered in Manitoba. Due to this, the availability of bridging supports prior to registering and entering the workforce is limited.
Next steps

Getting your documents in order before you start your application will help avoid processing delays later on. Use CASLPM'S checklist (PDF) to ensure that you have, or can obtain, all the necessary documentation.

If you have further questions about the registration process, contact CASLPM or reach out to the Access Hub and we can help to direct you to the appropriate organization and/or resources.
