Yes, you can apply if you fill all other requirements including 67 points.

thanks Leon..
another question:
so it doesn't matter even if your still not a registered physiotherapist in canada?
just have a 1 year experience in the phil?

 

[Leon]

Yes, they don't require you to be registered to apply but when you get in, you will have to work on getting your license here.

 

[ann24]

that's a good news..
thanks leon,i appreciate your time answering my questions

arrangement employment is an additional point under FSW..if im going to apply under FSW as a physiotherapist and have an arrangement employment as a caregiver in canada..will it count to 67 points?

You don't get AEO points for a caregiver job. It needs to be a skilled job.

If you don't have enough points to apply as FSW, you could also take the caregiver job and work on your physiotherapist licensing while you work as a caregiver and when you get your license try to find a physio job on a skilled permit and then apply for residency or worst case scenario work as a caregiver for 2 years, then apply for residency under the caregiver program.
