Can individuals trained outside the province or outside the country work as a PSW in Ontario?
People with training from another jurisdiction may apply to a school to have their training assessed. Some schools charge a fee for this. Others may do an assessment for free. If you have received your training within Canada, but outside of Ontario, at this point, you may visit your local community college to ask them to review your transcripts to determine if you qualify to be exempt from courses in their program. If you have received your training outside of Canada you can call the World Education Services at 416-972-0070 or toll-free at 1-866-343-0070. Or you can call the International Credentia Assessment Services of Canada at 519-763-7282 or toll-free at 1-800-321-6021.
