I'll note that people from non-accredited programs can also apply to CPO, as long as they have fulfilled all requirements

Unfortunately this is incorrect. I would recommend checking out CPO's website(and all other Canadian colleges). In Ontario, anyone in clinical practice can communicate a diagnosis. That includes counselling, clinical and school psychologists. I am from a counselling background and know this from experience. This is a major misconception that people from a clinical psych orientation tend to hold (likely just from lack of exposure to other orientations).
