Regulation in Canada

The mental health profession is becoming regulated across Canada. Many provinces have their own regulatory body already, and some are not pursuing regulation or are in the process of forming a regulatory body. Each province is listed in the table below, and a link to the relevant regulatory body in the province is listed. If you have questions about the regulatory authority of those bodies, please contact the specific regulator. This information was last updated on November 10th, 2025, and may be out of date.
