Canadian physio working in the USA?

[CanadianPT23]

Hey everyone,

I'm a Canadian physio (masters) that is frustrated with the current market in Toronto, and looking to make a move to the US. Is anyone familiar with what the process is like? My understanding is that I can't write the NPTE until I have my degree evaluated, and take any missing classes? How long does this process usually take? Is it hard finding a job in the US as a foreigner?

Thanks for any and all help!

Edit: For clarity, I have a masters in physio from an accredited school in Canada. I read somewhere that they also look at your undergrad degree, and want certain courses such as physics (which I do not have). Would they ask me to go back and do these undergrad courses, or are they more particular about the physical therapy courses?
