Can I practise a profession other than social work or social service work through my professional corporation?

No. A professional corporation is strictly limited in its scope of practice, which is defined by both the Business Corporations Act and the College’s bylaws. The Business Corporations Act states that a social work professional corporation can only engage in the practice of social work and a social service work professional corporation can only engage in the practice of social service work. The College’s bylaws reinforce these restrictions.

We strongly recommend that registrants seek legal and accounting professional advice to decide whether to set up a professional corporation.
