CFAA M-T Emergency Lighting

Effective May 1, 2026 – The City of Winnipeg Fire Prevention and Manitoba’s Inspection and Technical Services (ITS) are aligning their licensing frameworks, specifically affecting Qualified Service Persons Licenses and M-T (Maintenance-Technician) Licenses.

Recent updates indicate that these changes aim to standardize safety oversight, though they have reportedly resulted in increased administrative burden and longer processing times due to more rigorous assessment levels.

CFAA application fees have increased from $150.00 to $300.00

All applicant’s are required to have a minimum of 3600 hours of verifiable experience that can be validated by an M-S or M-T CFAA Emergency Light Only, or Journeyperson Electrician ( HC or HI)
