Parental Leave

If you are currently registered AND you will be going on parental leave for an entire registration year (Jan. 1 – Dec. 31) or longer, you can cancel** your registration for your leave by submitting a Notice of Non-Practice through your online portal by clicking on "Change My Registration".

If you are currently registered AND you will be going on parental leave any time after January 1, you must renew as usual during the renewal season. Even if you are working one day in the new year, you must renew your registration.

If you are currently registered AND are currently on parental leave for more than one registration year, it is recommended to renew as usual and maintain your registration. However, you do have the option of cancelling your registration for your parental leave, by submitting a Notice of Non-Practice through your online portal by clicking on "Change My Registration".

If you are not currently registered AND are currently on parental leave, you must submit a reinstatement application (approx. one month before returning to work) which requires a criminal record check and copies of your MLT education and certification. There are fees associated with the criminal record check and reinstatement application.

** Once a registration is cancelled and you are ready to return to work, you must submit a reinstatement application which requires obtaining a criminal record check and uploading copies of your MLT education and certification. There are fees associated with the criminal record check and reinstatement application.**

Treaty 6

We wish to acknowledge that the land on which the CMLTA office is located is Treaty 6 territory and a traditional meeting ground for many Indigenous people. This is home to the Cree, Blackfoot, and Metis, as it is for the Nakoda, Tsuu T’ina, Chipewyan, and other Indigenous people. Their spiritual and practical relationships to the land create a rich heritage for our life as a community.
