Hi

I am a physiotherapist from India with a B.PT and completing my mater's in UK. i would like to know how long would it take for me from the initial process of assessment till i get the registration to work in Canada. Can someone please help me in this regard. I am yet to start the process...i would appreciate any help in this regard.

hi tread,

i'm a canadian trained in australia. i worked out how much it would cost and how long it would take for me to become fully licenced and registered in one of the canadian provinces.

i came up with $10,000 and 1 year. that includes flights and accomodation, because you have to fly twice, once for each part of the exam. if you remove that from the equation, you're looking at about $6000 CAD and 1 year from the time you apply.

hope that helps

Hi,
I recently qualified as a physio in the UK. Does anybody know if a BSc honours degree will entitle me to work as a physio assistant in Canada (British Columbia) while i am waiting to pass the PCE?
Sorry if this is a little bit unrelated but i've tried to find this info everywhere and can't seem to find an answer!

Cheers

This may be an employer-specific kind of a question. Within Alberta in Canada, I know and work with PTAs who have had PTA training, have been former nursing attendants, and a few who were foreign-trained Physiotherapists. Some places I've been, they only hired PTAs who graduated from certain colleges with the PTA training (ie. not former nursing attendants) but they also hired a few foreign-trained Physios.

I also had a few classmates who worked as PT Aides in some clinics while they were attending Physiotherapy school.

Hope this helps.
