section

2(c)(

i) to collect information for the purpose of reassessing the

education, competency, training or work experience of the labour

mobility applicant.

Knowledge of matters in Alberta

4(1) If a regulatory body imposes a requirement on a labour mobility

applicant to provide the result of an assessment of the labour mobility

applicant's knowledge of matters applicable to the practice of the

relevant regulated profession in Alberta to the regulatory body under

section 2(c)(vii), the regulatory body must, subject to subsection (2),

assessment or ensure that any third party conducting the

assessment provides the labour mobility applicant with the

results of that assessment

within a reasonable period of time of the labour mobility applicant

result of an assessment of the labour mobility applicant's knowledge of

matters applicable to the practice of the relevant regulated profession

in Alberta that has already been completed.

(3) If a regulatory body directly or indirectly administers an

assessment of a labour mobility applicant's knowledge of matters

applicable to the practice of the relevant regulated profession in

Alberta, any requirement imposed on a labour mobility applicant to

result of the assessment is available to the regulatory body.

(4) A requirement for a labour mobility applicant to provide the result

of an assessment of the labour mobility applicant's knowledge of

matters applicable to the practice of the relevant regulated profession

in Alberta must not be used to impose a requirement on a labour

mobility applicant to perform material additional training, obtain

material additional experience or complete material additional

examinations or assessments.

Language proficiency

5(1) For the purposes of

section 2(c)(viii), a labour mobility applicant

may choose to provide any form of proof that the labour mobility

language of practice.

No less favourable requirements

6(1) Subject to subsections (2)(

c) and (3), a regulatory body shall not

establish requirements for a labour mobility applicant's application

that are less favourable than the requirements a regulatory body would

impose on an applicant for registration who is not a labour mobility

applicant.

(2) Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), a requirement

imposed by a regulatory body on a labour mobility applicant

(

a) must not create a disguised restriction on labour mobility,

(

b) must, subject to clause (c), be the same as or substantially

similar to, but no more onerous than, those imposed by the

regulatory body on an applicant for registration who is not a

labour mobility applicant, and

(

c) must not impose a fee that is higher than the fee imposed by

the regulatory body on an applicant who is not a labour

mobility applicant, unless the higher fee is required to cover

an actual cost differential

(

i) that a regulatory body must incur in relation to an

application from a labour mobility applicant, or

(ii) that a labour mobility applicant must incur in relation to

fulfilling a legitimate objective.

(3) Despite subsection (2)(b), a regulatory body may require a labour

mobility applicant to request that a current registering body of the

labour mobility applicant provide the regulatory body directly with a

certificate, letter or other evidence regarding whether the labour

mobility applicant is in good standing in the relevant profession with

the current registering body, in accordance with

section 2(a)(i).

Registration

applicant has provided proof of current registration in a province or

territory in Canada other than Alberta and has met all other

requirements imposed by a regulatory body under

section 2, the

regulatory body shall register the labour mobility applicant without

restrictions, limitations or conditions.

(2) If one or more current registering bodies have provided the

regulatory body directly with a certificate, letter or other evidence

regarding whether the labour mobility applicant is in good standing in

the relevant profession with the current registering body, and a

certificate, letter or other evidence from a current registering body

regulatory body directly with a statement regarding whether the labour

mobility applicant has good character, as determined by the current

registering body, and a statement of a current registering body

indicates that the labour mobility applicant does not have good

regulatory body considers it necessary to protect the public

interest as a result of concerns relating to the character or

conduct of the labour mobility applicant,

registering body and may

(

a) apply an equivalent restriction, limitation or condition,

the public interest as a result of concerns relating to the

competency, conduct or character of the labour mobility

applicant based on the information contained in a statement,

the regulatory body may refuse to register the labour mobility

applicant or may register the labour mobility applicant with

restrictions, limitations or conditions.

(6) If a labour mobility applicant has provided one or more of the

criminal record checks or vulnerable sector checks required under

necessary to protect the public interest as a result of concerns

relating to the competency, conduct or character of the labour

mobility applicant, the regulatory body may refuse to register

the labour mobility applicant or may register the labour

mobility applicant with restrictions, limitations or conditions.
