Physiotherapist who are just Bachelor's degree holders, don't screw yourself in

[steve81]

Hi Guys

I am a physiotherapist from India. I started my evaluation in March 2009, it finished in January 2011. Now they are telling to to take courses which can take two years. So I my almost four years will be screwed by Canadian alliance of Physiotherapy.

There are not any Physiotherapy assistant job for physiotherapists in Ontario. They need need PTA educated from Canada. They just pay $ 11 to the foreign educated PTA'S.

I dont want to discourage anybody, but this is the true picture in Ontario.

It is the same for Canadian applicants. All Physiotherapist in Canada will require a Masters degree in Physiotherapy to practise.

Hi,


Simply means that your college/university curriculum in Physiotherapy in India is not at par with the minimum standards of that in Canada. I suppose the credentialing is pretty similar with the OT's, correct me if I'm wrong. It starts with an initial screening with IQAS which tells you how your college/university documents fares with Canadian standards e.g. 5 yrs degree in PT in India ---- comparable to 3 yrs in degree in PT in Canada. Afterwhich, you need to proceed to the actual phase of credentialing in PT. in case of OT's they do it with CAOT.

If it's indeed not at par with canadian standards, you have no choice but to take substantial courses to meet the minimum standards of Canada. U.S., Canada, Australia/New Zealand are moving towards having masters in PT/OT to upgrade the standards of the profession.


If wanted to pursue our profession in Canada, we must be prepared to take on this imminent challenges of meeting their standards.
