How do
I get my foreign credentials assessed?
If you are a newcomer to Ontario and have a diploma or degree from another country,
you may need to have your academic credentials recognized in order to help
you join the labour market, enter a training or educational program, or get
recognition of professional training. You will therefore need an assessment
of your academic credentials and a comparison of those credentials to Ontario educational
standards. (1998, Queen's Printer for Ontario)

Do you qualify for MLA/T Certification?
The OSMT MLA/T
Certification Committee receives applications to write the certification
examination from individuals who fall into any one of the following
categories:
Student
Applicants must be enrolled in an OSMT approved training program and expect
to obtain a diploma before the November 8, 2008 exam date. (Graduation must
be validated prior to the exam.)
Graduate
Applicants who have obtained a diploma from an OSMT approved training program
within the last five (5) years.
Special
Consideration
- Canadian-trained
or Canadian work experience
Applicants
who do not meet one of the above criteria may apply under "special
consideration". Applicants must have a considerable record of related
Canadian work experience and/or education.
- Foreign-trained
Applicants who obtained education or work experience outside of Canada
may also apply under "special consideration" but must provide
an academic credentials assessment prior to the exam date and must have
Canadian experience that includes a minimum of 20 successful phlebotomy
procedures, 10 successful ECG procedures, and 80 hours of practical experience
in a medical testing facility. This must be verified by the
laboratory director or supervisor. Proof of completion of Canadian
experience requirements must accompany the exam application.
