Most programs now have World Wide Web sites, which can give good information. Usually, this means that a specific faculty member has to say they want to work with you in order for you to be admitted. A good idea is to write to faculty with whom you may be interested in working, to read about their work, and to demonstrate your interest in working with them. Remember that with the competition for positions, there may be four or five equally qualified students interested in working with a particular faculty member. You need to convince the faculty member that it is YOU they should select.
Funding typically consists of teaching assistantships or research assistantships.
Another source of funds is scholarships. Bear in mind that if you hold a scholarship, you cost the program less in terms of support, and are therefore much more attractive as an applicant. A major distinction is made in clinical psychology between accredited and non-accredited programs. Most programs in Canada are either already accredited, or else are working very hard to be accredited, as students will naturally prefer an accredited over a non-accredited training. Generally, graduation from an accredited program will offer more career choinces than from a non-accredited one.
