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 internationally...

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

Ooh, great finds! I may have missed those as I've been searching exclusively in BC. Again, given that healthcare differs from province to province, this is another complexity to finding work!

Re: Low-Intensity CBT

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...

Re: UK trained Nurse

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 experience,...

Re: Almost 8 years went by so quickly!

I love reading these updates. We're aiming to move to Vernon, once my wife converts her nursing qualifications (which is now funded in BC!). The BC provincial government are coming to Manchester in a...

Maybe it's a change of scenery in Canada you need? I appreciate I am saying this from here in the UK, but there doesn't appear to be anything boring about the landscapes in BC! The mountains, lakes,...
