How to register for practice

To become a registered speech-language pathologist in Manitoba, you need to go through a detailed process. The standards for entry are high due to the broad scope of practice in the province.

  • First step

    Start by reviewing the information from the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Manitoba (CASLPM), the provincial regulator for both audiology and speech-language pathology. They can help you with any questions about the registration process.

    Since Manitoba does not offer a speech-language pathology program, bridging supports before registration are limited.

  • Next steps

    Before you start your application, organize your documents to prevent delays. Use CASLPM'S checklist (PDF) to make sure you have all the necessary paperwork.

    If you have more questions about the registration process, contact CASLPM or reach out to the Access Hub for assistance and guidance.
