Reinstatement

(Previously Registered in Alberta)

This page describes the process for applicants who were formerly registered with the CLHA.

If this does not describe you, please take our applicant quiz.

To apply for reinstatement, you will need to have previously obtained registration as an Alberta HCA and meet the requirements of the CLHA’s policy: Actively Engaged Requirements for Registration. See the Registration Requirements policy for more information.

If you do not meet the requirements, please contact the CLHA at hcaregistration@clha.com.
