For successful application to practice veterinary medicine in Manitoba, you must be a graduate of a program accredited by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and/or the American Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA/AVMA).

If you are renewing please fill out the Registration Application form, link is below. All new members must complete all the listed requirements below.

• Complete and sign the Registration Application form.
• Provide a photocopy of your program degree/diploma.
• Provide a copy of your VTNE results.
• The MVMA Registrar will require a letter from the Registrar of the appropriate membership or licensing authority in any jurisdiction where you have worked previously as a Veterinary Technologist or equivalent. They will verify your standing in the former jurisdiction.
• Provide a photocopy of your MVTA membership card. Membership in the MVTA is mandatory in Manitoba.
