This is disheartening...
I want to move to BC. It doesn't look like I have enough work experience to apply now as a Federal Skilled Worker. But I am planning on going to a master's program in mental health counselling. I figured out if I studied in BC for two years, I would qualify for the post-graduate work visa for two years..and then I could get the eligible work experience while in Vancouver.
But now I see counsellors are given a different code than psychologists and social workers. Counsellors are the only one of the three not on the list. But in BC you can't be considered a psychologist unless you go through a doctorate program!
Is there leeway there? I mean there are certainly overlapping job responsibilities...and in other provinces, I'd be considered a psychologist with just a masters degree.
