Thank you for your time and effort. I've been looking for a video that could help me with my processing ❤❤❤❤ This vlog is very informative Thank you again
this pcrb is a self diagnostic test. this is to help you understand more if you still remember some med lab science topics. and for you to gauge if you are ready to challenge the csmsls exam. you have to answer it based on your own knowledge and experiences. then submit it as part of pla requirements.
there is no required or specific format. As long as you have the header or heading that says your institution and the content should include the details I mentioned in this video.
How long approximately does CSMLS take to finish our PLA process if we have submitted all the required documents? Did you have to go through a bridging course or was it straightforward for you PLA then CSMLS exam?
Hii mam. I have completed my bachelor's in mlt from india this year. I have 2 years phlebotomist experience. Now working as pathology technician. From where should i start to get canadian certification. How much years of experience is required.
Hi po ate, can I ask po for format ng work experience letter? Sobrang helpful po ate ng video nyo para sa katulad ko na hindi alam paano mag start. Thank you po
work experience letter. i mentioned in this video po the format on what to put in the letter. make sure you have the letterhead of your company or workplace in the letter.

Thank you so much for your comprehensive video; it really helped clear up my confusion regarding the CSMLS certificate. I have a question: as an internationally educated individual with relevant work experience outside of Canada, is it possible to apply for PLA before entering Canada? The process seems time-consuming, and I'm considering starting it before arriving in the country.
Thank you so much for information, Could you please tell me where I can get the form that our institution needs to complete to verify that educational institution is being provided in English?
there is no form you will just ask the institution to provide a written proof that english is the mode of teaching. I am not sure with other institutions but this is what I did. I just asked my school to provide me a written proof that states that english is the mode of teaching used at our school.
Hi, Mabi thanks alot for the informative video. I have some doubts can you help me out, actually i am here in canada and my employer is asking for the soft copy of the format of work experience required. I have explained in my way but they need a sample letter for reference. So would you mind helping me please. Its actually a big unresolved issue and i really need for help. Thanks alot
Hi maam, Ask lang po my bf is applying for PLA hes registered Medtech year 2020, however wala po siyang work experience as medtech. Hes currently in canada po. Need po ba may medtech related work experience siya.
no need po kaya need mag undergo PLA para malaman nya anong courses need take or if elegible sya mag exam agad.. and internship is considered as work experience
This was so helpful thankyou! Do you know if the process would get approved if I have only worked within one discipline? My university studies were around 5 years ago and I only have experience in the Biochemistry field.
PLA is really important to get know your eligibility. im not from csmls but i am sharing information based on my experiences. you will know the result once you completed and process your PLA. there is no deny or approve in this assessment... this is basically CSMLS reviewing your credentials and gives you back a report to let you know if you are eligible to write the exam or if you need to take course or if you have to finish a certain school program.
Hi, Thank you Does the work experience have to be inclusive in all five disciplines (Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Clinical Microbiology, Transfusion Science and Histotechnology) or it is fine not to have experience in some of these disciplines? And can we apply for PLA and attend refresher courses on a work permit without a PR?
Goodmorning ask ko lng po kung yung internship po ay 1sang clinic at 1 hospital dun po ba kukuha ng cert or s school na po?kaso nd po nila alam yung ginawa sa hosp and clinic yung nakadetails po,tia for reply
ung ibang schools sila nagproprovide ng cert of internship but sa case k nkakuha ako sa government hospital kung saan ako nagintern then ung isa k p n internship e sa university hospital kung san dn ako nagaral. i suggest na magreach out ka sa faculty nyo and ask mo sila pano makakuha ng cert of internship
Thanks for the detailed explanation, it was not mentioned that the course outline and clinical MLT education should be sent directly from institution, can I send the authorized copy by E-mail? Also same the with work experience, can I send authorized copy by e-mail?
sorry i dont have a sample anymore coz its been a few years ago already but in this video i explained the content and what are needed for the work experience documents
Hi po! Question po regarding dun sa mag lalagay ng csmls Id sa document. Pwede na po ba sa labas ng sealed envelope? Or dun sa mismong document dapat? Na ready ko na din po kasi mga docs ko before umalis ng pinas. Salamat!❤
Hi, please, I have an experience as a general medical lab technologist but i had graduated from the Biology department and I haven't in my educational history those 5 modules (clinical chemistry, hematology, clinicalmicrobiology, transfusion science, Histotechnology), it seems to be I shouldn't apply to apply for the PLA, isn't right?
if you have experience but don't have educational background it will still have to go through PLA because its part of the requirements to submit. your work experience can show you have mlt background. CSMLS will tell you if you have to take courses or if you can write the exam right away
Hi po, thank you so much for this video. I am a medtech student graduating this june 25 po, Can I ask po for any advice or steps I should take so that I may be able to work in canada as a medtech in the future? thank you so much.
you would still have to undergo PLA but i advice na acquire an immigration status or student visa para makapagaral dito sa canada.. Most likely dahil newly grad ka sa pinas, csmls might still require you to take courses here in Canada. or if they think you can write the exam right away mas better. Pero to write the exam you have to be physically here.. try to find ways on how to immigrate here first then saka mo na asikasuhin how to work here kapag andito ka na marami pong opportunities sa medtech as in madami pong job sa buong Canada.
hi! I’m a MT fresh grad here in the Philippines and I already got my license. Nasa Canada po ung dad ko and he is planning po na kunin po ako next year. Would a
internship is work experience dn po! and yes you will be eligible to take csmls mlt licensure. PLA will tell you how many courses you will need to take before taking exam or if you are eligible to write exam right away
Hi, could you please let me know how we pay for the CSMLS because, here they did not mention any bank details and the method to pay. Please Let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Now I am in the middle of the process
Hello po good day. I would like to ask po regarding wes how long po did it take to get the evaluation report? Is the estimated date of completion pp ba talaga yung araw na lalabas and result or pwede lumagpas po?
Hi!! What if i have certificate/seminars in that particular section but I’m not able to practice it in the philippines. Is there any possibilities that I still need to study it? Thank you for doing this!! Hoping that you have a very good day🤗
i think they might require you to take some courses or go back to school. it can be the bridging program which one year only or it could also be the whole MLT program that will be 2-3 years depending on the institution of the province you are going to study.
Hi mam, im an international student now here in Canada, I have Phlebotomy certificate and trying to find job as Phlebotomist now. I graduated MLS/MLT year 2017 and worked as public health associate under DOH, so no clinical experience aside from my internship. Mam what would you advise for me to do, because I really wanted to work as MLT/MLA here in Canada. Thank you!
Hi thank you for your helpful video! Can I ask how did you pay for the PLA? I cant find where to pay. I am planning to pay via credit card sana. Will they send a link to me after I send an email? Thank you
you will have to fill up the form and the payment details are in the form you will put your credt card information in writing and send the form thru fax email or snailmail
Hello po may I ask if the csmls is strict with the submission of req documents? Do they need it to only be sent from the institution po or i myself can compile and send it to csmls?
if your institution doesn't have the option to send it directly to csmls you can send it on your own, as long as you have the authenticated documents. Meaning it has the institution seal / name / logo in the heading of each docs and on the sealed envelope and was released to you by the institution.
Hello I know that about my studies program it lack just histology course so do you think I can start the process even though I don’t have it and then complete it as you did ?
Hello. Who is considered the official representative of the laboratory or educational institution? How do I submit the official letter for MLT education?
Hi I had also done my msc in biotechnology… I want to do Medical Lab technology program …. My question is that Is we have to do Program first ? OR we can give the PLA?? Please answer me
it can be done in the philippines but remember that once your technical report comes out they will only give you 2 years to finish your learning plan make sure you will land in canada before the deadline of your technical report
Hi!! How to fill these forms i.e. Application form or Personal competency Rating Booklet…I mean do we need to print these documents and then fill these forms with a pen/pencil and send it by courier or we can just fill them on computer and email them????? Thanks
EMAIL, FAX OR MAIL YOUR APPLICATION TO: CANADIAN SOCIETY FOR MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE 33 Wellington St N, Hamilton, ON L8R 1M7 T: (905) 528-8642 or (800) 263-8277 ext. 8507 F: (905) 528-4968 E: pla@csmls.org i filled up mine in acrobat, saved to pdf and emailed it to csmls make sure to put your csmls id number that you have. you can also print and sign thru pen then mail it directly to csmls. Both options are ok, when csmls receives your docs they will email and let you know if there are lacking docs or not
Hello is there any institution how I apply for Wes and PLA and for study because I searched lots of but I am confused so I need help to apply so please help me Thanks 😊
Hlo mam, I want to got admission in medical Laboratory technician in Canada but when I check online there was no response for these . please solve my doubts
Hello ma'am ,personally thankyou for this video. i have some doubts in post assesment. my concern is how can i know i m not equivalent to MLT competency profile with TRLP? do they will inform me ?
The Technical Report will tell you if you need to take course or if you can write the exam as soon as you get the report. But if your education and work background does not qualify, it should still be stated on your Technical Report
depends sa province kung saan ka magwork some provinces will hire you as long as you have medical laboratory work experience from the country you came from. but some provinces doesnt recognize our education and work experiences - they will still require you to challenge the lab assistant licensure exam and be certified before you can work for them. I arrived in winnipeg (2015) and when i applied for lab assistant jobs i immediately got a job in the lab. They considered my work experience as MLT in the Philippines. but in other provinces like ontario or BC, i think the mla certification is a requirement before you can work as MLA
the company has to. for that i remembered mine was written outside of the envelope that was sent to csmls, you can also include it in the company letter
if you submit your application form for pla they will give you the csmls id number. i attached a link to explain this more. csmls.org/Certification/Prior-Learning-Assessment/Pre-Assessment-and-Fees.aspx#:~:text=There%20is%20an%20application%20at,create%20a%20CSMLS%20ID%20number.&text=The%20PLA%20fee%20is%20%241540,members%20(non%2Drefundable).
Hello Ma’am! Ask ko lang po, ung PLA form is imamail po ba sakanila? so upon payment po ibibigay na po nila yung ID# saka po ififill up ung form then imail via canada post po sakanila? Kasama po ba sa imamail yung PRCB rating form ma’am? Thank you po 😊
@@journeywithmc4998 pag nag member po kayo sa csmls they will give you a unique id # that will be ur id # hanggang makapasa kayo sa exam kc unique po un sa information nyo. then pcrb po ay mail directly to csmls din
you can still apply if you want to pursue a career as MLT here in Canada. You should still have to go through PLA. But since you don't have experience, the report you will get might be to go for full MLT school or Bridging School for MLT
Hi! Ask ko lang po regarding the Wes: did you also submit syllabus directly to Wes? Kasi ang nabasa ko po sa handbook, only TOR and Mode of Instruction. Lastly po, Did you also submit a separate TOR directly to CSMLS? Thank you in advance. :)
i submitted TOR, mode of instruction pati syllabus po. kc i wanted to show CSMLS the whole medtech program i had in the school where i graduated from. i just asked to have it submitted by my school.
@@ynabarrosaMOI and TOR were both mailed directly by my school. with regards to WES it is a separate institution that will mail csmls directly. but to apply for wes, need mo mag reach out din sa school mo to send the required docs to wes so ung school m should send your TOR MOI and syllabus to CSMLS then TOR with course by course description or syllabus to WES then wes will review and evaluate your credentials and send it to csmls i will make a video about wes application soon
Hello po. Super helpful po nung video. Just want to ask lang po, if nagapply po for associate non certified member and may binigay na csmls id, yun din po ba yung csmls id# na ilalagay sa application form?
if you have MLT experience in India you can contact the regulatory body in Canada for MLT example: if you are in Ontario, your regulatory body is CMLTO you will be eligible for MLA exam because you have MLT background already but not yet licensed in Canada. so reach out to the regulatory body about the requirements and how you can write for the exam. some provinces will hire you even without passing the MLA license as long as you have strong laboratory background but again it still depends on the province where you are.. the first step you need to do is reach out to the regulatory body in your province ☺️
PLA is the assessment to know if you are eligible to write the CSMLS LICENSURE EXAM or if you need to take courses before you can challenge the exam. But for PLA itself there is no exam.
Hi ... I need some help... As I am now studying masters in public health in saskatchewan... What should I do ? Because I am medical laboratory sciences graduate from other country
you can try the online self assessment test in the CSMLS website and see if you wanna continue this career. It was designed to help Internationally educated MLT like us decide if Med Lab is a career path for us based on our scores / knowledge on this exam. But at the end of the day it is still up to you to decide if you want to work as MLT here in Canada or not. If you want to be MLT here then you have to do the whole PLA process then follow the next steps the csmls will give you on your technical report.
Hi, I am an international MLT and I have 4 years experience but the problem is I can’t find my previous work places to send my supporting documents, I only have my official transcript from that work places that I work with I mean my social security organizations. Is it acceptable as a support document?
once they get all the required documents it may take up to 6 weeks to get the result back. In my experience it only took 3 weeks to get my technical report.
Thank you so very much for your great effort 💓💓💓💓
Always welcome
Well explicit thanks
Thanks was very informative and helpful🦠🔬

Hello, nice video. Please do you have an idea on how to fill the PCRB accurately?
this pcrb is a self diagnostic test. this is to help you understand more if you still remember some med lab science topics. and for you to gauge if you are ready to challenge the csmsls exam. you have to answer it based on your own knowledge and experiences. then submit it as part of pla requirements.

yes because it is still a lab experience as long as you can provide proof of hours and description of job you did in that free standing lab
Hello ma'am ,personally thankyou for this video. i have some doubts in post assesment. my concern is how can i know i m not equivalent to MLT competency profile with TRLP? do they will inform me ?
The Technical Report will tell you if you need to take course or if you can write the exam as soon as you get the report. But if your education and work background does not qualify, it should still be stated on your Technical Report
Thankyou so much ma'am it helps me 🙏😇❤️
Ma’am ano po requirements to work as medical laboratory assistant or technician jan sa Canada?
depends sa province kung saan ka magwork some provinces will hire you as long as you have medical laboratory work experience from the country you came from. but some provinces doesnt recognize our education and work experiences - they will still require you to challenge the lab assistant licensure exam and be certified before you can work for them. I arrived in winnipeg (2015) and when i applied for lab assistant jobs i immediately got a job in the lab. They considered my work experience as MLT in the Philippines. but in other provinces like ontario or BC, i think the mla certification is a requirement before you can work as MLA
does the company have to include your CSMLS ID?
the company has to. for that i remembered mine was written outside of the envelope that was sent to csmls, you can also include it in the company letter
Hi how did you obtain the CSMLS ID # before applying PLA?
if you submit your application form for pla they will give you the csmls id number. i attached a link to explain this more.
csmls.org/Certification/Prior-Learning-Assessment/Pre-Assessment-and-Fees.aspx#:~:text=There%20is%20an%20application%20at,create%20a%20CSMLS%20ID%20number.&text=The%20PLA%20fee%20is%20%241540,members%20(non%2Drefundable).
Hello Ma’am! Ask ko lang po, ung PLA form is imamail po ba sakanila? so upon payment po ibibigay na po nila yung ID# saka po ififill up ung form then imail via canada post po sakanila? Kasama po ba sa imamail yung PRCB rating form ma’am? Thank you po 😊
@@journeywithmc4998 pag nag member po kayo sa csmls they will give you a unique id # that will be ur id # hanggang makapasa kayo sa exam kc unique po un sa information nyo. then pcrb po ay mail directly to csmls din
Hi ma’am, another question here, is one still qualified to apply for FSWP even if not yet certified by CSMLS?
yes you can apply for fswp even if you are not yet certified. I am fswp immigrant and I was not yet certified when I came to Canada.
@@mabiandrupert thank you so much for this information Maam.
Hi! Can I apply without experiencie? I studied in other country
you can still apply if you want to pursue a career as MLT here in Canada. You should still have to go
through PLA. But since you don't have experience, the report you will get might be to go for full MLT school or Bridging School for MLT
Hi! Ask ko lang po regarding the Wes: did you also submit syllabus directly to Wes? Kasi ang nabasa ko po sa handbook, only TOR and Mode of Instruction. Lastly po, Did you also submit a separate TOR directly to CSMLS? Thank you in advance. :)
i submitted TOR, mode of instruction pati syllabus po. kc i wanted to show CSMLS the whole medtech program i had in the school where i graduated from. i just asked to have it submitted by my school.
How about sa WES po? TOR and MOI only Ma’am?
@@ynabarrosaMOI and TOR were both mailed directly by my school.
with regards to WES it is a separate institution that will mail csmls directly. but to apply for wes, need mo mag reach out din sa school mo to send the required docs to wes so ung school m should send your TOR MOI and syllabus to CSMLS then TOR with course by course description or syllabus to WES
then wes will review and evaluate your credentials and send it to csmls
i will make a video about wes application soon
Hello po. Super helpful po nung video. Just want to ask lang po, if nagapply po for associate non certified member and may binigay na csmls id, yun din po ba yung csmls id# na ilalagay sa application form?
yes, same po! once mag member ka un na ang unique id m sa lahat ng csmls applications mo until ma obtain mo ung license un n din po ung number niyo
@@mabiandrupert super thank you po ❤️
Am from india ma'am i did diploma in mlt is am eligible for gave the exam of lab assistant
if you have MLT experience in India you can contact the regulatory body in Canada for MLT example: if you are in Ontario, your regulatory body is CMLTO
you will be eligible for MLA exam because you have MLT background already but not yet licensed in Canada. so reach out to the regulatory body about the requirements and how you can write for the exam. some provinces will hire you even without passing the MLA license as long as you have strong laboratory background but again it still depends on the province where you are.. the first step you need to do is reach out to the regulatory body in your province ☺️
For PLA exam is it objective or subjective questions? Could you provide me what type of questions we will have?
PLA is the assessment to know if you are eligible to write the CSMLS LICENSURE EXAM or if you need to take courses before you can challenge the exam.
But for PLA itself there is no exam.
Oh, so PLA is not exam ,so overall how many written exam we have after PLA?
Hi ... I need some help... As I am now studying masters in public health in saskatchewan... What should I do ? Because I am medical laboratory sciences graduate from other country
are you planning to work as MLT here in canada? if so you have to apply for PLA
@@mabiandrupert Actually need suggestions should I go for ... Or ... Only move for public health
you can try the online self assessment test in the CSMLS website and see if you wanna continue this career. It was designed to help Internationally educated MLT like us decide if Med Lab is a career path for us based on our scores / knowledge on this exam. But at the end of the day it is still
up to you to decide if you want to work as MLT here in Canada or not. If you want to be MLT here then you have to do the whole PLA process then follow the next steps the csmls will give you on your technical report.
@@mabiandrupert thank you
Hi, I am an international MLT and I have 4 years experience but the problem is I can’t find my previous work places to send my supporting documents, I only have my official transcript from that work places that I work with I mean my social security organizations. Is it acceptable as a support document?
csmsls will need the information be sent by your educational institution
Ma'am how much time is taken by CSMLS for PLA report after submitting application?
once they get all the required documents it may take up to 6 weeks to get the result back. In my experience it only took 3 weeks to get my technical report.
@@mabiandrupert Ma'am Can we apply for PLA first and then on WES?
Can I send all these documents by post?
@@mabiandrupert Ma'am can you please share the work experience letter ?
Did you apply for pla
Please can one register as a non-certified Medical Laboratory Technologist from outside canada
I think you can. but you will still have to write the exam here in Canada
hello ma'am may study material ka po ba?
Hi po! I will make a video po about the review materials I used and share it here. Hopefully you will watch it too.☺️
