UK schools for Canadian and other oversea candidates

[lilium5260]

OK it is great to hear that Canadian and other oversea students are turning to UK. To be honest international fees of physio programmes in AU and NZ are very,very expensive (and also the living cost as well) and the admission is also competitive as well (AU has started to shift entry-level training to postgraduate as Canada did several years ago, while NZ is considering similar plan), so I think it is better to encourage Canadian and other oversea students to apply UK other than wasting time and money to try to get into AU and NZ schools.

May I ask why it is so competitive to get into Canada programmes? At the end of the day it is just physio not Medicine and what is the point to make candidates' life so hard? Does it only happen after the entry-level training shifted to master degree?
