Regarding Licensure
The Canadian Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (CSIOP) does not provide legal accreditation or licensure services.
Most registered psychologists with an "I/O specialization" have a background in counseling or clinical psychology rather than having formal I/O psychology education. The majority of I/O psychology graduates, regardless of whether they hold a Master's or PhD degree, do not pursue registration. The curriculums in I/O psychology are generally not designed to meet provincial accreditation or licensure requirements.
In fact, 89% of CSIOP members who responded to a survey conducted in 2016 expressed their disagreement with mandatory licensure of I-O psychology practice. For more detailed information, please refer to CSIOP's newsletter volume 34, issue 1.
For information on becoming a "registered psychologist," please consult the governing bodies of each province (https://cpa.ca/public/whatisapsychologist/regulatorybodies/). For inquiries regarding the licensure situation in Canada, please contact Dr. Blake Jelley at licensure@csiop-scpio.ca.
La SCPIO n'est pas responsable de l'accréditation légale ni de l'obtention d'un permis d'exercice. Pour obtenir des informations sur le processus permettant de devenir un psychologue autorisé à pratiquer, veuillez consulter les organismes de réglementation de chaque province (https://cpa.ca/public/whatisapsychologist/regulatorybodies/).
La majorité des diplômé·es en psychologie I/O (maîtrise ou doctorat) ne cherchent pas à obtenir un permis d'exercice, car les exigences d'agrément au Canada sont généralement axées sur la pratique clinique, ce qui ne correspond pas aux formations ni aux objectifs de la psychologie I/O.
La plupart des psychologues autorisé·es ayant une « spécialisation en I/O » proviennent souvent d'une formation en psychologie du counseling ou en psychologie clinique, plutôt que d’un parcours formel en psychologie I/O.
