Hello, thank you for the useful information! I have one question, as a high school student here in Canada (specifically Ontario), what would be an "ideal path" for a high school student who is wanting to become a physical therapist (ex. what undergrad degree, what to do next etc.)? Or just any general advice?
I am so sorry for the delay! That is a great question. I think there are many routes you can take. Kinesiology, Anatomy and Physiology and Biology are common routes. My best advice would be to look at the pre-reqs at the Universities you plan to apply to. Then, compare it to programs at the undergrad level. I completed my degree in Business in sustainability and innovation, and took all my electives in Anatomy/Physiology etc.
@@PTExamPrep thanks for your prompt reply. can you please suggest me, which province is better in terms of wedges and employment for new immigrants, while they prepare for licence? I am moving there in march 2020 from India.
Hi there! I’m asking for a family member. He did not complete the Physical Therapy course(5years) in the Philippines. He only completed for 4 years before flying to Canada because he was petitioned by his mother. He enrolled for PTA course in Canada. Currently working as PTA. Is there a chance he can still become a PHysical Therapist in Canada? How? Thanks in advance.
If he'd like to pursue a career as a physiotherapist in Canada, he will have to complete a Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) in Canada or equivalent education in an international country. After that, he'll then have to pass the different licensing exams in Canada. Here's equivalent Philippines PT education programs to the Canadian MPT programs: www.alliancept.org/scp/ph/
Thanks！ It was very helpful. I am planing to apply for Physiotherapy schools in Canada and also in Australia. Is there a list of all the 15 Canadian Schools, that offers the Master degree? and From where I can find the pre- approved international schools by the Canadian Alliance? Much appreciated! Thanks~
If you are looking for schools in Canada, here is a list www.physiotherapyeducation.ca/CanadianPrograms.html If you are looking for Australia schools, I would contact OzTreKK, they have a great program to help apply for all schools in Aus
It depends on a candidate's country and university. Students generally have a MPT (masters of physiotherapy), DPT (doctor of physiotherapy), or BPT (bachelor in physiotherapy). There's a great resource on the CAPR's website where you can search precedent credentialling cases. Here's the link: www.alliancept.org/becoming-credentialled/source-country-profiles/
It's hard to answer that question without having more facts. Here's a good website where you can determine if your education is equivalent to a Canadian MPT program: www.alliancept.org/scp/
Hey i am from india , and i wanted to know that what subjects are need to studied for pce as i am persuing bachleor's in india . Do both the countries have same subjects to prepare?
Simran Dolwani please sign up for our upcoming webinar on credentialling - attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5955267641482499852 We’ll cover lots of topics related to education and working as a PT in Canada.
Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it's totally possible if you work in a private clinic (revenue split 65%+) or if you own your own private clinic. There is always a balance of work / life; especially in physiotherapy. You don't want to burn yourself out.
@@PTExamPrep Thank you and i completely agree, I'm getting into this field because i enjoy helping people reach they're activity goals but it does help to know there is potential to take home good money as well.
Hey I actually completed my 12th in kuwait and now I would like to study in Canada. So what all undergraduate courses can I do in Canada to become a physiotherapist? Since bachelors for physiotherapy is not there , like can I do bsc kinesiology or bsc exercise science and then apply for masters in physiotherapy? Pls reply as soon as possible🙌🙏🙏
Hey! You would need to look into the specific requirements of each University in Canada that provides a Masters in Physiotherapy. It takes a bit of work, but worth it! If you have already completed your Physiotherapy training, then the process is much easier!
Hiii u are helping thousands of people thanks 😊😊 Sir i am in 11 class studying in india i wish to come canada after 12 for bpt but my friend living in canada is saying there is no bpt in canada there are only diploma sir is this true ? Should i come after 12 or after bpt ? plzzz reply i badly need guidance
Hello! I am not familiar with the system you are speaking about. I can tell you that in Canada you have to complete your Masters in Physical Therapy in order to sit the exam. If you have more questions, please contact us at info@ptexamprep.ca
Thank you for your kind comments! In Canada, students earn a bachelors degree (sometimes in a related field like kinesiology) and then apply for a MPT program. There are a lot of factors to consider in your decision like cost, ease of immigration, and ultimately, what option gives you the best chance at passing the PCE! If you decide to do your BPT in India, check out our video How to Become a Physiotherapist in Canada by PT Exam Prep - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VZLntYpH77A.html

Hey, i am currently perusing my bachelors of Physiotherapy in India and i want to study masters in Canada. So can u please tell me what are the requirements to get scholarships in universities.
I am not sure of scholarships available to students in your position unfortunately! We specialize in helping students clear the licensing exams to become a Physiotherapist in Canada.
hello thank you very much for the information me and my wife we would like to get some information about how to get the admission can you please help us if there’s any contact number so we can call you or if you have an email address can you please provide it thank you
The best place to contact is the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators. They are responsible for evaluating and approving international physiotherapist's credentials: www.alliancept.org/considering-canada/ We also have a RU-vid video that you may find useful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jWfjYtTKuH4.html&ab_channel=PTExamPrep
Great question! Normally they have to be taken in Canada, but since the pandemic, they allow students to take them from their home country. Once you pass the exams you can apply to get your license from the province you live in and work as a PT :)
