Social Worker Licence: Moving from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island
The short answer
Direct transfer
There are no transfer agreements between provinces, so applicants registered in another province must complete the PEI application package and pay the required fees, but if registered on the basis of an approved social work degree the Board will accept confirmation of this from that province.

“At the present time there are no transfer agreements between provinces. You are therefore required to complete an application package for P.E.I. and pay the required fees.”
