Congrats Amikety. All the best. 9j

Just a quick note here DP. The MScPT programmes are NOT for already qualified PTs. In fact, it is the equivalent of whatever you already have as a qualified PT coming from Naija. MScPt is the entry level qualification for Canadian graduates similar to B.ScPt or whatever is currently offered in...

Well, it's up to you. Only you know what your priorities are. If you are heading to Canada within the next year or so and you intend to sit for the exam after your arrival, it may get a bit challenging to combine studying for the Alliance exam and doing the D.Pt programme, but hey, anything is...

You are welcome headyman. I am in Alberta. The DPT thing hasn't really caught on yet in Canada. The PT schools here are still offering M.PT programmes. They are expected to upgrade in a few years though. To be candid, it makes no difference whether you have a BPT, MPT or DPT qualification as far...

Hi Eni, I'll advice that you contact the Alliance and notify them of your situation. It used to be that you would have to pay for a file review. It is usually faster and cheaper than standard credentialing process. With the new streamlined process, I think it should even be faster now. So give...

Hi DP, The UBC program is a good idea. The only advise I will give is you will need to have covered some personal reading before starting the program. The program itself doesn't teach you PT from the scratch but it is valuable in developing exam skills and familiarizing you with the Canadian...

Hi DP, as far as Physio jobs go, there's more than enough to go around. The major challenge is the exam process. The credentialing process used to be a never ending nightmare, but thankfully, they appear to have streamlined the process. Once you scale over the exams hurdles, it's up to you how...

This is a belated CONGRATULATIONS to my dear 'sister' - SPOKES!!! I am so happy to read that you've finally got your PR. Way to go sis. All those days of frustrations and nerve wrecking uncertainties are now over. Welcome to Canada!!!!! I pray that all your expectations and beyond will be...

Wow! I haven't been here in a long while. Am just seeing your profile update now my 'sister' Spokes: Big Congratulations!!!!!!! :D :D (Where is the emoticon for backflip?). I am sooooooooo happy for you. Congratulations on reaching the finish line on the protracted PR journey. All is well that...

The new FSW rule is quite interesting if not confusing. This doesn't particularly apply to me, but just musing on a potential scenario that am sure will apply to many. The examining body and the credentialing body for Physiotherapist for the purpose of licensing in Canada is the Canadian...

The new rule is quite interesting if not confusing. What will now happen to people who had already completed the Alliance credentialing and are eligible for the exam? Would they have to do another academic evaluation for Immigration purpose? Surely, if the main reason for the CIC education...

This should not be a problem. People are free to land and live anywhere in Canada. I am assuming you fall under the FSW scheme. 9j

You are welcome and all the best. 9j

If I have to recommend between the UBC programme and the Alberta bridging programme, I'll say go with UBC. In my opinion, the Alberta programme, does not specifically prepare you for the exam as the UBC does. Rather it helps to give you orientation into work settings and context of practice as a...
