It is based on the writer’s review of documents submitted by the jurisdictions, and of published Acts or Regulations (see References). Its objective is to provide a summary of the key requirements for registration in psychology across Canada, to highlight their statutory basis where feasible, and to point out the more obvious potential obstacles to the mobility of psychology professionals as intended by the AIT as well as some of the factors that may facilitate mutual recognition for mobility. Any interpretations provided are the writer’s alone.  \nPart I of the report is a concise overview of registration requirements and related issues. Part II summarizes curriculum and experience requirements for registration, as well as areas of intended practice listed in application forms. Parts III and IV provide a jurisdiction by jurisdiction summary, using exact quotes where practical, of the most relevant (with respect to registration, as judged by the writer) clausesofthe Psychology Acts and Regulations respectively. The material found in these two parts provides the statutory basis for the summary presented in Parts I and II. Due to the fact that specific statutory provisions may facilitate or hinder mutual recognition under the AIT, the reader us encouraged to review in detail the necessarily cumbersome material presented in Parts III and IV.  \nNote to the reader:  \nThis version (January 4, 2000) of the report should be read as an evolving document, due to the fact that a number of Acts or Regulations are under review or about to be reviewed at the time of writing. Subject to this caveat, the report has been reviewed for accuracy by the regulatory boards and the members of PSWAIT.  \n   1  \nPART I: REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS & RELATED ISSUES  \nOverview (Figure 1). This report provides an analysis and summary of psychology registration requirements and related issues across Canada, by means of six tables with explanatory comments, followed by a review of the most pertinent sections of the Acts and Regulations. In an effort to provide a “bird’s eye view” for the benefit of the reader, the writer presents a visual comparison of key registration issues across jurisdictions in Figure 1.  \nTo interpret the entries in Figure 1, the reader is asked to take the following into account:  \n(a) The information presented in the tables and text is more precise. To create the figure, the writer developed a category system for each factor presented, where 0 means it is not present in a jurisdiction, 1 means it is present, 2 means that it is a relatively stringent requirement, and 3 means that it ","cbCaisgBJLKC2Xb1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisgBJLKC2Xb1","pdf",389367,47,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n# PART I: Registration requirements and related issues\n## Overview\n## Psychologist registration requirements\n## Psychological associate registration requirements\n## Other relevant issues\n# PART II: Curriculum, experience and areas of intended practice\n## Curriculum and experience\n## Areas of practice and competencies\n## Parts I and II: Concluding comments\n# PART III: The Psychology Acts\n# PART IV: Registration Regulations and By-Laws\n# REFERENCES","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the report for PSWAIT and the AIT?\",\"answer\":\"The report summarizes key registration requirements for psychology across Canada, highlights statutory bases where feasible, and identifies obstacles and enabling factors for mobility under the AIT.\"},{\"question\":\"Which registration categories does the report cover?\",\"answer\":\"It covers registration requirements for psychologists and for psychological associates, with related issues discussed in Part I.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report support its comparisons?\",\"answer\":\"It uses tables with explanatory comments, a figure comparing key registration issues, and jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction summaries that quote relevant clauses from the Psychology Acts and Regulations.\"}]","REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION IN PSYCHOLOGY ACROSS CANADA - A comparison of Acts, Regulations, By-Laws and Guidelines | PDF",118]
