International applicants

While the board has registered Psychologists from a number of jurisdictions around the world, it is the responsibility of the applicant to show that their credentials meet those specified in the Psychologists Act (2005).

Many Canadian jurisdictions now require internationally trained applicants to apply through a common portal for registration within our jurisdictions.

So, if you visit the following website (https://acpro-aocrp.ca/internationally-educated-applicants/), it will take you through the process of applying for registration in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Upon receipt of a completed application through this portal, a decision regarding your eligibility for registration in our jurisdiction will be made.
