Internationally Trained Psychologists

This type of registration is intended for those currently licensed or registered for active practice outside of Canada. A candidate who qualifies for the Internationally Trained Psychologists (ITP) application: 

• has registration and in good standing with a psychology regulatory body in their home jurisdiction (outside of Canada)
• is currently licensed to practice psychology in their home jurisdiction
• has been practicing independently in their home jurisdiction for a minimum of two (2) years during the previous five (5) years

The first step in the registration process is for the applicant to apply to have their academic credentials evaluated at a meeting of the Credentials Evaluation Sub-Committee (CESC). Upon approval of their academic credentials, the applicant may apply for registration. The successful ITP applicant is granted provisional psychologist status and must complete the remaining registration requirements, the EPPP and LEAP Examinations. 

All approved ITP applicants must practice under supervision and secure a supervisor.

Please refer to the Academic Credentials Evaluations - Introduction & Overview page for further information to apply to have academic credentials evaluated as the first step in the registration process.
