by Henry P. Edwards, Ph.D., C.Psych. for PSWAIT (Psychology Sectoral Workgroup on AIT) Ottawa, January 4, 2000 INTRODUCTION This report was prepared at the request of the Psychology Sectoral Workgroup for the Agreement on Internal Trade (PSWAIT). 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. |
