In Canada, jurisdiction over professions such as social work, is assigned to the provinces/territories. Each jurisdiction (except the Yukon and Nunavut) have enacted legislation and established social work regulatory bodies to govern the profession in accordance with the legislation. Individual social workers become registered by becoming a member of a provincial regulatory body.
