Working as a PT at Ottawa

[movazanan]

Helll to everyone
I am in the process of become a licensed PT in Canada
I am planning to move over there in a year or so.
We are planing on moving to Ottawa and I have a several question:
Firstly – I probably want be fully licensed PT , I guess that I will have just the written exam approval by then, how hard it will be to find a job under this circumstances ?
Secondly- What is the average monthly salary I should expect ? I am willing to work hard and do a house calls if it can increase my salary
Lastly- I am a qualified McKenzie AND Mulligan practitioner , I have a 7 years of experience as a PT . Will it make it easier to get a job? does this courses count at Ontario ? my certification are internetional.

Thanks to everyone

Moses

Well, I am not from Ontario, and thus and expert .
Years experience are good for getting a job, bad for passing the practical exam.
I don't know what they are making in Ont. but it can't be under $25/hour or they wouldn't have anybody.
Go to the ontario associate website and look at the job offers to see.
Also, Ottawa is on the border with Quebec. If you are fluent in French you could work and be liscensed on that side of town. That does not require the same dreaded exam. But has it's own high standards, to be sure.
House calls are not generally done by private physios in my part of Canada, but each province has it's own funding style for physio, we'd need an ontario physio to tell us how that job openings are in "homecare". In Alberta, these public, home-visiting jobs are plentiful. McKenzie is out of style here in Western Canada, but has some fans. Mulligan, I find quite useful, and most physios have heard of both. Anyone hiring to a private clinic would know what those are. (if they don't they are surely smart enough to pretend they do). Hope that helps, Crystal

I really hope that someone from Ontario can reply so I can get a clearer picture of it
