Life and employment issues in Canada

I have a bachelor’s degree in social work (with 5 years of work experience in Australia) and a master’s degree in psychological counseling. I am continuing my studies in Vancouver, Canada.

The system in every province in Canada is Not the same. In British Columbia (BC), being a social worker must register with the British Columbia College of Social Workers. So when you choose a school/degree, remember to see if their courses prepare you for registration.< /p>

Social workers with a master's degree are very popular. Social workers in hospitals generally hire people with a master's degree - the salary is high and the benefits are good. In Richmond, Vancouver, there are a lot of Chinese people, and social workers who understand Chinese are very popular. Welcome. Of course, the social worker's English level must be high. After all, this is a necessity for the job - social workers often need to keep in touch with other legal/medical professionals and record client descriptions, so their English must be strong.

You It didn’t say you wanted to study in Canada, and I don’t know if your English is good or not. I don’t know which path of social work you plan to take (medical/child protection/mental health/aged care/community work... etc.). .. So it’s hard to explain it to you more clearly. However, you can study social work in college :) Almost all courses that study social work include internship opportunities, so it is not too difficult to find a job after graduation.
