New Graduate
New Graduate applicants are those who have graduated from a Canadian accredited MLA, MLT or CLXT education program within the previous 2 years, have not worked as a MLA, MLT or CLXT in another Canadian jurisdiction, and are eligible to challenge the next approved entry to practice examination(s). A new graduate license is valid for 4 months from time of registration.
The following documents are required:
- Copy of an official letter from an accredited program confirming successful completion OR a copy of certificate/diploma/degree
- Proof of registration (receipt or confirmation email) to an entry to practice exam
- Proof of Professional Liability Insurance of $2,000,000
- Proposed employer's intent to hire letter
- Completed Acknowledgement of Supervision form (if you have not received your national exam outcome)

Once You Receive Your National Exam Results
NSCMLT requires all graduates who have successfully completed their national exam to upload a copy of their exam results to their NSCMLT profile. Once received/reviewed their provisional license may be changed to an "Active" license and the requirement for "direct supervision" may be removed. When completed, NSCMLT will send an email notification of your license status change.
Please Remember:
You cannot work in Nova Scotia until you have received notice from NSCMLT that your application has been approved.
