On May 1, the Registration Renewal system will close and anyone who has not renewed will have their practice permit cancelled. Those still wishing to practice as a Health Care Aide in Alberta will need to reinstate, see Reinstatement. 

Individuals without a valid practice permit (registration type Active/Transitional/Provisional) are not authorized to use the title “HCA” or work as a Health Care Aide in Alberta, as per Schedule 10 of the Health Professions Act.

Working as an HCA without a valid practice permit can result in a complaint of unprofessional conduct and be subject to disciplinary action which may include a fine payable prior to reinstatement

HCAs who, for any reason:

• do not plan to practice as an HCA in Alberta, and
• do not plan to return to practice in the future

should notify CLHA of their change in status on their account. This serves as:

• formal notification to CLHA of non-renewal, and
• record of practice hours.

If a Registration Renewal Application is not completed, further reminders and suspension/cancellation notifications will be sent to the HCA as required by the Health Professions Act.

If you would like cancel your practice permit for next year please:

1. Log in to your MyCLHA account.
2. Under Change My Registration, select “change.”
3. You will be asked if you are sure you want to cancel.
4. Fill out the form and select “submit.”

Most HCAs will receive access to their practice permit on their MyCLHA dashboard.

Exception: If an HCA does not have access to their permit immediately, it may mean that the application has not been approved or paid for, and the HCA will be contacted within five business days to discuss next steps.

HCAs can see and print their practice permit and tax receipt on their MyCLHA dashboard. HCAs will not receive a practice permit in the mail from CLHA.

HCAs and employers requiring proof of HCA registration status should access the CLHA’s Public Registry. The Public Registry shows the current and future registration status, advanced authorizations, and conditions.
