There are many organizations that hire social workers.\n\nSchools, support groups, community clinics, welfare offices, aid to immigrants.\n\nProbably many more too.  Good Luck!

This might help you\n\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/index.html\n\nBe really careful about dealing with any private, i.e. non-governmetn agencies -- there's a lot of people who will try to sell you a dream, but all they are really interested in doing is taking away your money.

I believe firstly you must figure out what exactly you want.  Do you solely want to make a lot of money?  Do you sincerly want to help people?  Sit down and think about it for a while before you decide to go back.  If you want to make money, I would not recommend Social Work for the simple fact the salary cap in that field with a LSW is only about $60k - $70K...that is not enough money.  Ultimately, I think you should do what makes you happy.

Depends on what you are interested in doing.\nYou would only need an AAS for working somewhere like DSS.\nFor administrative/director, etc. you'd need a BSW\nFor the clinical stuff you'd need your Masters.

I really don`t know how it works in Canada, but you can usually find out if a person is working through their social security number.

I am Canadian.  Go to the CIC website and read about the requirements.  I believe it is possible without too much difficulty.  Also, you could check some major Canadian newspapers for ads for in-home caregivers.  Figure out where you would be interested in living and look up the newspapers for that area.  Each province has at least one major newspaper and they are easy to look up on the internet.  For instance, in British Columbia, the major newspapers are The Province and The Vancouver Sun.  I think you may need to have a job offer in order to get your work visa, so you may need to make some applications and go from there.  Good luck!

The best thing to do is to check with the college for this answer.\nMany colleges have a social worker degree available. \nAs a former foster parent, I dealt with SW's all the time, and it seemed that most of them had schooling in sociaology, psychology, etc.

That is a diverse career. You can do many things with that degree. Day care centers, preschool centers, welfare offices, hospital social worker, long term care advocacy, Child support office worker,Case worker for Behavioral centers, Home Health Agency Social Worker, Office of the Aging Advocacy...Check out this web site and post your resume. Good luck. That is a giving career.

I'm not exactly sure where you get a work permit,but try the court house and places like that,maybe they can tell you. You can always do odd jobs like yard work,helping the elderly with things around the house,newspaper route, and etc.

I think it depends on the type of diploma, it takes a 4 year course and a bachlours in nursing to get a degree as a registered nurse in Canada but there are lower positions of nursing assistants and home care workers etc available. Your best bet would be to contact the provincial board of health associated with the province you are interested in working in for all qualifications

I work with children who have special needs, worked for a year with a child who had Downs Syndrome and am working with children who are visually imparied.\n\nYou don't need any qualifications but experience is crucial. Volunteer work is a good way to gain some and get your foot in the door.\n\nIf you're in the UK you can work as a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) where you'll be situated in a school and usually assisgned to one child who you'd help throughout the day.\n\nThe only thing i would say about a job like this is that while its amazingly satisfying it is also frustrating and difficult. You need alot of patience and then you need to consider where you're hoping to take it, as an LSA there aren't many opportunites to progress.\n\nYou could look at a career as an Educational Psychologist or Speech and Language Therapist. There are alot of careers out there that involve work with SEN children but require further education (degree then masters).\n\nHope that helps!

Dependant upon where you are located, there may not be any relevant academics required.\n Some Canadian provinces require nothing for psychometry, or counselling services....

Yes your benefits will be calculated  based on a formula including wages here in the US.  Wages earned outside the country do not count toward your SSA retirement.  You will probably have to deal with the US embassy regarding anything with SSA (after all there are no SSA offices outside the US).  Canada is on the list of countries where you may live and collect social security.  Go to their website for a list of countries.

if you apply for a study permit you need to prove that you have the money to pay for it or that someone will provide it for you. after you graduate at a canadian university you can work there for up to a year off campus and while you are a student you can work on campus.

Two options, look for departmental scholarships. I paid for two degrees in social work that way. \n\nSecond, fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and decline loans. It'll tell you what grants you can have. \n\nGood luck, sweetie!
