    conditions for Canadian physiotherapists

    Taping
    I'm an undergraduate student that is considering going into physiotherapy. I'm gaining some experience in the field (through volunteer work) and really like what I see so far but was wondering what the job situation/salary is like in Canada? I've read such MIXED reviews on the web that I was hoping to get a little clarification. Is there a huge difference between salary if you are in private practice vs. working at a hospital? And do PTs have difficulty in Canada finding work?? If anyone has information in regards to BC specifically, it would be much appreciated.
    Also, I'm looking at U of Alberta's program (MScPT). Any reviews? And do you believe that there is an opportunity to specialize in pediatric physiotherapy? (I couldn't find any specialized Canadian programs on the web)

    Thanks so much!!

    Must have Kinesiology Taping DVD
    There are plenty of physio jobs in Canada - no shortage. You can pretty much go anywhere and get a job. There are pay differences between private practice and hospital
