Security Guard Licence: Moving from Alberta to Manitoba
The short answer
Extra steps
A licence from another Canadian province or territory is not valid in Manitoba and cannot be transferred, so you must apply for a new Manitoba licence, although your out-of-province training may be recognized so you might not need to take the Manitoba course. Source
