In Canada the process of credentialling may take up to 6 months to a year, while the 2 exam components are spaced out over another 6 months to a year.

Please check out the Alliance website

Hi,

Physio assistants aren't very common in Canada, at least not in BC.

You would have to approach physio companies, and organisations for a suitable position, and they would have to be willing to accomodate you..
