Re: College of Alberta Psychologists Advice and Experiences

From what you say, it sounds like you have everything in place. I wasn’t aware of the distinction between the two forms of Psychologist. I’ve just briefly looked at the guidance on...

Re: College of Alberta Psychologists Advice and Experiences

Does the job offer state you have to have certification with CAP? If not, you may be better suited to applying to ACTA. Alberta are currently going through the process of regulating counselling...

Re: Low-Intensity CBT

I think you would struggle to meet the requirements to meet CRPO with the quals/experience you have. And because the supervised practice hours must be part of a coherent structured course, you...

Re: UK trained Nurse

Do you know your route of entry to Alberta? The last time I looked, nurses were not 'in demand' and the only option would be Express Entry. Whereas BC has the PNP option, which HealthMatch support...

As the previous poster advises, they do recognise some of your experience, but it it’s unlikely they’ll recognise all of it. For my Wife, they said as a guide, expect at least 50% of your...
