Courtesy (Temporary) Applicants

A person registered or licensed as a psychologist or its equivalent in good standing in another jurisdiction who requires registration in Alberta on a temporary basis for a specified purpose and period of time may be eligible to apply for registration on the courtesy register.  As stipulated by the Psychologists Profession Regulation, courtesy registration can be issued for a maximum of one year.

Given the "temporary" nature of this category of registration, normally a second application for temporary registration will be denied. However, each application will be reviewed and considered on its own merits. 

Apply for registration on the courtesy register for 12 months online through the MyCAP Login. Your account wil be invoiced for the annual registration fee once your application is approved.

If you require authorization from CAP to provide services to an existing client who will be in Alberta for three months or less, please see the Application for Short Term Courtesy Authorization in the Forms and Resources section below. There is no fee for short term courtesy authorization. Your name will not be added to CAP's courtesy register, you will not be issued a practice permit, and you will not be able to provide services to other Alberta clients during the authorized period.
