Combined Laboratory and X-ray Technologist Licence: Moving from Nova Scotia to Alberta
The short answer
Direct transfer
A CLXT already registered in another Canadian province can register in Alberta through labour mobility based on registration-to-registration recognition, without retaking the entry-to-practice exam or a competence assessment, though they must pass the jurisprudence exam and may be referred for assessment if requirements are not met.

“Registration-to-registration recognition is the fundamental principle of labour mobility in Canada. Regulatory authorities recognize that due diligence is applied by other jurisdictions in Canada in licensing their members to practice their occupations.”
