Taking the licensure exam on a visit visa?

[trina_physio]

Hi!  I am a physiotherapist and have been practicing for 6 years.  I understand that for me to be able to work in Canada, I will have to take the canadian exam to get a license. 

My question is this:  Are there employers willing to hire me on a trainee basis while I work out my official license to work in our field?  Are trainees compensated for their volunteer work?

Can anyone recommend a reputable employer/company to whom I can apply?
