Starting January 1, 2026, AUDs and SLPs registered in another Canadian province or territory can begin practising in Ontario immediately under the new “As of Right” rules. This change is part of Ontario’s labour mobility reforms, which aim to help regulated professionals start working sooner and address workforce shortages.
Under these rules, out of province audiologists or speech-language pathologists can begin in-person practice in Ontario after submitting a CASLPO As of Right application and attestation form, while waiting for their registration to be finalized. Out-of-province audiologists and speech-language pathologists may continue practising for up to six months while completing the full registration process. The rules apply only to in-person care provided in Ontario; virtual practice across provinces is not included.
If you are already a CASLPO registrant, your status does not change. If you plan to practise outside Ontario, you must check requirements with the regulator in that province or territory.
For more information, including eligibility and how to apply, visit the new As of Right Registration Pathway page on CASLPO’s website.
