I can speak especially for Quebec.
In Quebec, you can have a master's in social work, a master's in couples and family therapy and a master's in psychology, counselling psychology. That will get you into the CCPA. That will get you your psychotherapy permit in Quebec, but only if you have enough psychotherapeutic training, so for couples and family therapists, 100% or 98.8% of them are psychotherapists as well.
For social workers, you just need to have a B.A. to be a part of that order. They will not have their psychotherapy permits to the level of deep work. The psychological work they can do is limited.
Counselling and counselling therapy programs across Canada are at the master's level for entrance into the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Accreditation to get your certified Canadian counselling certification requires extra hours and making sure that you have all those checkpoints. They're pretty much on the same level as many of the others. In Quebec, we have so many orders that do or don't get their psychotherapy permits, but they're on par.
I have two master's degrees, one in science and one the creative arts—the first being in couples and family therapy. Most people I know have their psych education and another social work degree or something. They have four years of master's level courses to be able to work, and we have ongoing regulations with the CCPA to make sure that we have all of those add-ons. Those add-ons are things you need: the ethics course, the cultural awareness and so on.
