Thank you .
Are you from psychology background and living in canada ?
No but a good friend is. For almost all provinces you need a PhD to be licensed. Only one or two provinces accept Masters so you would only be able to practice in that province. Assume you are getting ITA through Express Entry. Again go through each provincial licensing authority and see what province you are eligible for, if any.

Yeah. But till the time i get phd. Can one get a job in psychology field ?
Not as a psychologist so need to research jobs in the field (and mental health) that may be available. Chances are low as you are competing with Canadians who may have a Canadian experience and education. Employers usually take preference to people with Canadian experience. So you may not get a job in the field at all.

Research each provincial licensing body and find out what province accepts only masters.

Usually WES but depends on your school. No one can tell you what equivalency you will get.
