Continuing Education timeline for RCSW
I applied for a registered clinical social worker back in March. This has been quite a lengthy process and I am still not fully approved or disapproved at this point. I wonder how long this process will take seeing as it's been about 4 months. When I applied I didn't think it would take this long and I would have time to finish my continuing education credits. However, with it coming up mid-august and I know Canada's renewal process happens in October does anyone know what kind of credit will be needed or how many credit hours? Also does anybody know how long this is going to take? I was trying to get licensed/registered before I start applying for jobs at the health authority so I can move from the US to Canada but this is taking quite a bit of time. I think the wait time in the US is between 4 and 6 leaks but I don't really remember because I got licensed so long ago here.
Also, I know I didn't have to go to the registered clinician route but I figured I would get it done now. That way I could also apply for any supervision jobs out there that may require it. I think it could open up some doors if needed. Also that allows me to do private practice either on the side or after I get permanent residency or citizenship later in life.
