These are clients:
- Whose permanent address is in Alberta, and
- Who will be returning to Alberta after their stay out of the province.
- E.g., clients going on vacation to another province/territory in Canada or internationally, clients temporarily residing outside of Alberta for extended periods for family, school, work, or other obligations.
ACSLPA does not require regulated members to become registered in the other province/territory or country in these situations, but we cannot speak for extra-jurisdictional regulators. In this circumstance, regulated members will need to inquire about the registration requirements of the regulatory body or association in the jurisdiction that the client will be in while they are out of the province in order to determine what type of registration might be required to provide temporary services.
Within Canada:
If registration is required by the regulator in the other province or territory, ACSLPA regulated members with clients travelling to or temporarily residing in Ontario, Manitoba, New Brunswick, or Saskatchewan, can apply for cross-provincial practice registration, which allows SLPs and audiologists to provide a limited amount of care across provincial boundaries in these provinces only.

Regulated members with clients travelling to or temporarily residing in provinces/territories other than the ones listed above should contact the applicable College or Association directly for more information on registration requirements.
