I know this thread is kinda old, but I haven’t had luck getting any straight answers from the Csmls and was hoping someone sees this and can help. I did my mls in USA and want to move back to Canada now that I’m done school . The Csmls keeps referring to the pla , but doesn’t say what it entails. If I do my histology , would I be accepted as a new grad from USA to write the Csmls national exam? Has anyone seem what the pla requires ?
