Concerning telepsychology and the various scenarios that may arise, a good starting reference is the following URL, which has been updated as recently as September 2021nHere is the URL :https://www.ns-rp.ca/information-for-registrants/telepsychology/nAs the jurisdiction is typically determined by where the client is located, I would suggest that you contact the regulatory body in the other Canadian province to see what their requirements are for providing telepsychology. NSRP has jurisdiction on your work you do in NS, but it is likely that the other Canadian province will consider your working with the client to be practice there. If they were okay with it then we would not have a problem as long as you follow the NSRP telepsychology standards. Please also note from the information provided via the above URL: if the client is located in Atlantic Canada then you can utilize a simpler notification process with the regulatory body where the client is located in Atlantic Canada.
You also asked about providing service when you will be located outside of the country. Since you are psychologist registered with the NSRP, we would not have a problem with this. However, that may not be the whole story. Some jurisdictions take the view that the practice occurs in both places (where both the practitioner and client is located). Some NS institutions may also wish to have the psychologist located in NS, if they are paying for services. These latter points would not be a NSRP policy matter, but it may be helpful to consider them and to check to ensure there would be no unexpected issues.
