Midwife Licence: Moving from Northwest Territories to Manitoba
The short answer
Direct transfer
A midwife in good standing from a province where midwifery is regulated must be accepted in Manitoba under the CFTA, without significant additional training, work experience, examination or assessment, though a local jurisprudence course and fees may be required. Source
“Labour Mobility provisions of the CFTA (Chapter 7) state that certified workers have to be recognized as qualified to work by a regulatory body in another province or territory which regulates that occupation, without having to go through significant additional training, work experience, examination or assessment, unless an exception has been posted.”
