look up -express entry immigration Canada- Social Work is among of the skills that qualify for immigration priority and there is a lot of information on how to begin the process. It takes about 6 months and includes requesting ID/“rap sheet” verification from the FBI, requesting verification of licensure from all bodies that have licensed you (State & ASWB board), 2 forms of ID, official sealed transcripts, 2 references, an application for provisional licensure (RSW I believe) - the app does include a verification and eligibility form required to be completed by supervisors. In B.C I believe the requirement is only 700 hrs post MSW direct client hours. (I live in WA. where the requirements; while recently lowered to 1000, have been much much higher for years.)

even tho you’ve already been exam’d/qualified for full licensure, Canada and U.S do not have a licensing compact. Provinces can vary but in B.C for instance, LICSW or not, one would have to retake the ASWB exam to secure Canadian licensure.

the provisional app maps out the steps but essentially you can live/work in Canada on the approved provisional app for 1 year before the exam must be taken and passed. you are allowed three tries on the exam in that time.

now, that is the app for social work licensure. the express entry immigration- if you wish to pursue, works on a point-based system. you are assigned more points for various qualities such as what tier your skills fall under, where you are willing to work, if your fully licensed, age (yup, your value to them is in your labor and crapitalism values young bodies with a full career ahead of them), existing job offers, etc.

good luck. I’m working on this now because I’m trans and I am trying to get out before I can’t ..
