The Association of Canadian Psychology Regulatory Organizations (ACPRO)

is a national organization composed of the provincial and territorial regulators for psychology in Canada. Together, we share expertise and support a common commitment to the public interest in the competent, ethical, and safe practice of psychology.

With the exception of the Yukon Territory, only licensed/registered psychologists may practice in Canada, and they may only practice in a province or territory where they have been licensed/registered.
