Speech-language pathology is regulated across the provinces
An SLP must be registered with the regulator in the province where they practise.
In most provinces the same regulator covers both SLPs and audiologists. Entry to practice is a master's degree. SLP is not regulated in Yukon, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut, though employers there may still ask for provincial registration.
The national association, Speech-Language and Audiology Canada (SAC), is not a regulator, though many employers ask about SAC membership or certification.
Our process: We confirm registration with the regulator before presenting a candidate, and we report any conditions on registration. Read more on our credentialing and compliance page.
Moving provinces or trained abroad? You apply to the regulator in the province where you will practise. Timelines are theirs, not ours.

Are speech-language pathologists and audiologists regulated together?
In most provinces one regulator covers both professions, and in British Columbia both are now regulated by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC. SLPs and audiologists still register separately, and each province sets its own rules. Tell us your situation through the candidate or employer form and we will give you a straight answer, with no obligation.
Do you place SLPs on contract or relief?
Yes, where employers have openings such as leave coverage and vacancies. Tell us your province, preferred setting and availability, and we will let you know what is open and what fits. Arrangements depend on the employer and on your registration.
Do you recruit speech-language pathology assistants?
Our focus is registered SLPs. Communicative disorders assistants and speech-language pathology assistants are support roles. Tell us about assistant role needs through the employer form and we will say whether we can help. Tell us your situation through the candidate or employer form and we will give you a straight answer, with no obligation.
Can I work in more than one province?
You need registration in each province where you practise. Some regulators offer temporary or virtual-practice registration. Check with the regulator in each province for the current requirements before you accept a role. Tell us your situation through the candidate or employer form and we will give you a straight answer, with no obligation.
Does it cost anything to submit my profile?
No. Free for candidates. Always. We are paid by the facility, never by you. You can submit your profile, talk through roles and decide on introductions without paying anything at any stage, and there are no placement fees or hidden charges on your side.
What do you do with my personal information?
We use it to match you with roles and verify registration, with your consent, and we follow Canadian privacy law. Nothing is shared with an employer without your permission, and you can ask us what we hold about you at any time. Read the details in our Privacy Policy.
