If I apply for registration with NSBEP via the Canadian Free Trade Agreement process (not the courtesy register), will I be able to declare couples as a client group in Nova Scotia or does NSBEP only allow what is listed for my registration with the College of Psychologists of Ontario?Since my postdoctoral supervisor is registered with NSBEP, including for work with couples, is there a way that I could work under her license/supervision, similar to a graduate student?Can a NSBEP registered psychologist see clients in other provinces via virtual care? My supervisor thinks that there might be an agreement for Atlantic provinces, for example.

That’s right. On the basis of the CFTA, NSRP will only be able to approve those practice areas, populations and activities approved by CPO.

nnNo. Since you are a fully registered psychologist in another jurisdiction, it would not be appropriate for another psychologist to assume responsibility for your work like they would for a non-autonomous practitioner under their supervision.

In Atlantic Canada there is an MOU for registrants of the respective regulatory bodies in Atlantic Canada. Here is a link to the MOU, which outlines the process that must be followed by psychologists in order to make use of the MOU.
