I'm Canada the physiotherapy degree is a master's degree. It used to be a bachelor's degree but now all physiotherapist must complete a bachelor's in another subject before (usually biology or kinesiology, etc). It is also a very difficult program to get accepted to because the class sizes are quite small. Not sure if you want to apply to do a master's in physiotherapy to redo your physiotherapy degree in lieu of getting your credentials assessed. If you are looking to advance your studies in physiotherapy you will habe to apply to a PhD program.

Good morning.

I'm a graduate in Occupational therapy passing batch 2004 from a well known school in Mumbai.

I want to know the duration it may take for the initial assessment of degree, I understand that it is SEAS who will do it through WES for me. What has been your experience if you have undergone assessment already from one who does it for PTs.

For course specific transcripts what kind of details were expected? Are these different, in that more detailed, from those which are usually given by universities?

Request you to reply.

Thank you.

Regards,

PP.

@simi55,

Good morning.

I'm a graduate in Occupational therapy passing batch 2004 from a well known school in Mumbai, India.

I have about 10 yrs of experience and a master's degree in Exercise Physiology from the UK.

I want to know about the credentials assessment for IEOTs and I'm aware that the process happens through SEAS for us.

I want to know the duration it may take for the initial assessment of my degree.

For course specific transcripts what kind of details were expected? Are these different, in that more detailed, from those which are usually given by universities? I am attaching my transcript copy herewith, if you can help me find out about the same?

Request you to reply.

Thank you.

Regards,

You will need to getnyour degrees evaluated through WES or other organizations for your PR application but in order to see whether you can practice or what you will need to do be qualified in Canada you will need to contact the OT association of Canada. Attached the link below. They will be able to guide you in terms of licensing, extra education or training, etc

Hi,I am physiotherapist from Indian, recently I got the my IELTS score in academic I got listening 8.5 reading 8 writing 6.5 and Speaking 7.5 overall 7.5. My counsellor is suggesting insisting that I need 7 in each band but I saw on this blog as well as on website it is mentioned "An overall score of at least 7 on the Academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS)". The test must include all components: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. I am really confused please help me.

1. If you are applying to emigrate, you require the General Test, not the Academic. Your "counsellor" is incorrect for Immigration, you need all modules above 6 to be eligible. Mind you the higher your IELTS score is, the more points you get.

@ Aquib --> Well first of all you are sure you are not going to apply under the FSW scheme ? Because she can work for a year in India and then apply under the FSW (Fedral skilled worker) program.

I would say the route to take from here on is, that please ask her to apply for Credential evaluation to Alliance of Physiotherapy Canada. Now I have at least 4 friends + 1 ME (we all are Masters in Physiotherapy from India). We all applied for Credential Evaluation at different times, The ones who got their credentials evaluated had to do maximum of 2 months course in a Canadian institution. Wrote the license exam and all are practicing Physiotherapists in Canada, I am yet to land, I applied for Credential Evaluation last year so waiting for my turn.

But even for Bachelors candidates I have heard good stuff only, Bachelors from India who are awaiting their evaluation results are getting PT assistant jobs in Toronto (I agree less jobs in Toronto at the moment) but in GTA (Greater Toronto Area) like Brampton, Mississauga etc. PT A jobs are a plenty paying anything from $ 15 to $ 18 which is a v good survival package. After my friends got the license all are above $45/hour + benifits. One of my friend who is not taking any benefits from his employer his getting $ 85/hour.


@ Steve81 Buddy from which Univ and College you did your Bachelors degree, because I have a lot of my friends (including me) who have done are Bachelors and Masters from Rajiv Gandhi Medical sciences univ Bangalore and most of my friends just had to take the LPAR online course and then they were eligible to write the License exam and even before their results came out. All of them had PT Assistance jobs earning anywhere between $ 15 to $ 18 ..... Please let me know the Univ you did your degree from, maybe I know someone already in Canada from your Univ.

So the student route should be taken when other means have been exhausted and you have ample money. Even if after Credential evaluation the result is that she has to do some course or worst her masters in Canada, she would pay way less money if she is doing the masters as a PR, as compared to doing a Masters being a foreign student from India....... Let me know if I answered your queries or made you more confused
