If you’re licensed in another jurisdiction within Canada or abroad and would like to become licensed in one of the industries RECA regulates, you must:

• complete the labour mobility eligibility process for the industry in which you would like to become licensed
• supply a current criminal record check

As a new licensing applicant, you will also be required to demonstrate that you are of good character and suitable for licensing.

The process for getting your licence through labour mobility depends on whether your existing licence is from a jurisdiction in Canada or aboard. Please refer to the guide below that best fits your circumstances:

• Guide to Applying for Labour Mobility for Canadian Licensees (pdf)
• Guide to Applying for Labour Mobility for International Licensees (pdf)

Licensing Process

Once you complete the eligibilty application for labour mobility, the process for applying for your licence in Alberta also depends on the jurisdiction for your existing licence. Again, please refer to the guide below that best fits your circumstances:
