If you have a degree in social work from a social work program accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (CASWE), or the National Indigenous Accreditation Board (NIAB) you will likely meet the academic requirements for the issuance of a general certificate of registration for social work.
How to Apply
Please ensure you first read all information related to the requirements for registration on the Information for All Applicants webpage.
Applicants with a social work degree from an accredited program can now apply through the College’s Online Portal.
Once you have submitted your application, the College will contact you if more information regarding your application is required. Once the College has all your documents, it typically takes four to six weeks to process your application. The process may take longer if the College requires more information. Documents submitted to the College become property of the College.
If you have questions about the application process, please contact the Registration and Renewals Department at registration@ocswssw.org.
