Hi emad,

What my school send the second time was almost the same papers they send the first time, but this time they had underlined the course descriptions and subjects etc...Which AGAIN SHOWS THAT THE alliance didn't even care to go through the documents which was submitted initially. I am pretty sure all this delaying is purposeful to get as much money from us as possible and to limit the entry for foreign trained professional into the job market.

As for the PLAR subject you might want to think about doing the course offered by the university of Toronto " Orientation Course for internationally educated healthcare professionals" which would help you to cover any content gaps in Professional Conduct/Ethics, Inter professional Practice/multidisciplinary Practice and the Context of Physiotherapy Practice in Canada Which comes under the section of Professional and integrated practice.

Now if you know that you will have to do a course in Evaluation/Research section, then going for the CHSM 417 "Research Methodology' by Ryerson University will help you to cover content gaps in all subjects of the Evaluation/research section, which includes:
  • Research design and Methodology
  • Critical Appraisal
  • Statistics

As well as one subject in the Professional and Integrated practice section, which is Evidence based practice. Now this course give you only 3 credits, so if you lack only 3 credits in these areas then this one course will help u to cove these 4 subjects, but if you are lacking in more than 3 credits, then you will have to take this course and again another course to cover your credits. (Ex. Say you need 6 credits in this section, you can do this course, which will give you 3 credits, then do another course for statistics alone which will give you another 3 credits.)

Both these courses are per-approved by the alliance, so you could take them in advance esp the orientation course which is not a big deal, its just 6 sessions of online class and discussions.


best of luck with ur PLAR results!!

thanks.
