How many CPD hours does a Social Worker need in Nunavut?
Social Workers in Nunavut follow a CPD-based model rather than a fixed hour total. Social work is not a regulated profession in Nunavut. Nunavut has no Social Work Profession Act (the Northwest Territories' Social Work Profession Act was enacted in 2012, after the 1999 division, and does not apply to Nunavut), no registrar, and no public register for social workers. Consequently no territorial continuing-education or continuing-competence requirement is set. Nunavut social workers may voluntarily belong to the Association of Social Workers in Northern Canada (ASWNC), a voluntary association and not a statutory regulator.
Are there required CE topics for Social Worker in Nunavut?
Nunavut does not mandate specific CE subjects for Social Worker beyond the general requirement — any board-approved continuing education generally counts. Always confirm with the regulator.
Can Social Worker CE be completed online in Nunavut?
Generally yes — Nunavut does not require live or interactive hours for Social Worker, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: N/A — not regulated.
What else should Social Worker renewals know in Nunavut?
As of July 2026, there is no evidence of statutory social work regulation in Nunavut. No mandatory continuing professional development because the profession is not registered by the territory.
