- clients who are temporarily located in Nova Scotia due to COVID-19 and are entitled to receive those services as a benefit of their registration with a University or College or other benefit program outside of Nova Scotia, where the services will be provided by an out-of-province psychologist on behalf of the University or College counselling service or other benefit program; or
- clients who are temporarily located in Nova Scotia due to COVID-19, when it is reasonably expected that the clients will require continuing services with the same psychologist upon the client’s return to the jurisdiction in which the clinician is registered.
