MSW & Practicing in Different Countries?

[tpg13]

I'm currently debating between going to a school in the country I live now (I've been in NYC for 3 years) vs. going back to the country I was born in/want to live in long-term (Canada). The school in NYC seems like a better fit for me, and I know that the degree is technically transferable to Canada, but I've heard from a lot of people that it doesn't make sense to get equipped with social policy/learning social work in a country you're going to leave. Any thoughts?
