After completing the course abroad, does my daughter have to appear for an exam to get the license or is it given directly in Ireland/Canada?

It depends. In both Canada and Ireland, your daughter will typically need to pass specific exams to get licensed as a psychologist after completing her studies abroad. The license is not given directly.

- Canada: Most provinces require the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP), plus possible oral exams or interviews. Requirements vary by province.
- Ireland: The Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) may require written ethics and jurisprudence exams and an oral exam.

Additional steps like credential assessment and supervised practice are also usually required. Licensing rules can change and differ by location.
