Credential evaluation for Physiotherapists immigrating to Canada from India

[prachi]

Hello everyone! This querry goes to all the Physiotherapists who have immigrated or are in the process of immigration  to Canada. I have applied for evaluation of my credentials to the Alliance but have heard varied reports about the time that the Alliance takes to give you a report. I am planning to fly to Canada in April or May and want to know if I have got the PLAR so that I can start doing some online credits if there are any expected of me. Can someone who has gone through the eval please help me out here?
Many thanks...

Hi Guys,

       I am also from India and have applied for my credential evaluation with alliance recently.I live in Ottawa,reached here in october 2010.Based on the experience of currently licensed Pts in Canada from India,those with a Bachelors had to take courses like research methodology and statistics and Canadian Health system.But there is no set rule i believe.B cos two of our classmates applied,both are with BPT one did not get even one course to take but the other one had to do around 3 courses.So it totally depends on your luck i believe.

So far those with a Masters degree had to take only a course in Canadian health system which is not difficult one and can be finished with in a month or so.

Right now the process is delayed due to an increased volume of applicants.Those who are applied 4 -6 months before is still waiting for the result.

You could findout if anyone from your own batch from the same university (Same Graduation date) have done this and wat was the result that will give you a clear idea.

Good luck for all
