Regarding Social Worker License for PNP under Express Entry

[Alphy Abraham]

I am trying to migrate under express entry as a skilled social worker and open to PNPs. I have registered under NOC 4152 in EE Pool. I only have done with my WES assessment and not CASW. So my query is if I'm getting any PNP in Social Worker (4152) or Social Community Service Workers (4212) Am I supposed to submit a license ?? or CASW assessment is just fine? Will they accept PNP ITAs without a licence under NOC 4152? In Saskatchewan PNP.. they only ask CASW for Social workers (4152) and WES for Social Community Service Workers (4212) right..?? How to sort these issues ?? I have asked with many..but nobody has a clear picture. Please help me...

also, Doing CASW is a certificate of qualification?? Can we add it in EE Profile under having a Certificate of Qualification from Province or Territory section ..?? Will Provinces accept CASW evaluation while we express our interest for their nominations?? & if we get PNP nomination with CASW will IRCC ask again for Licence??

Is marking NOC as Social Community Service Workers (4212) better than Social Worker (4152) in EE profile since it has almost the same job description while considering for PNPs

Expecting your reply soon..

These are the licensing/registration requirements for Social Workers

• Successful completion of provincial written and oral examinations may be required.
• Registration with a provincial governing body is mandatory to practise as a social worker in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.
• Use of the titles "Social Worker" and "Registered Social Worker" is regulated in all provinces.
• Membership in a provincial association of social workers is usually required.

Thank you for the reply.
Since I’m a foreign national I hope I’ll have to come there for these exams except for CASW. I’m concerned if I’ll have to show the proof of license while applying for PNP programs from my country.

In BC for example, an employer has to ensure that the nominee has the necessary license to be employed in this province.
