Psychologist Licence: Moving from Northwest Territories to Nova Scotia
The short answer
Direct transfer
Psychologists fully registered in another Canadian jurisdiction can qualify for a transfer of registration based on their existing registration, without retaking the entry-to-practice exam, though supervision may be required in some cases. Source
“If it is determined that you meet the requirements of a transfer, the NSRP may approve your name for placement on the Register of Psychologists, pending your completion of the Attestation Process (see Step 5).”
