Can Indian physiotherapist with bachelor's degree work as PTA in Canada?

[Diptinaik7]

Hello
I am a physiotherapist from india with two years of experience.
I have completed my bachelor's in physiotherapy.
My plan is to do master's from Canada
But it appears to be challenging.
So I am thinking of working as PTA first as PTA's do not have to give any licensure and with that money I can go ahead with my plans.How far do you think this is possible? And is it that if I get PR I'll be eligible to pay their domestic fees? Also how easy it is to get PTA job?How much can I make??

Yes you can get pta job but
Not easy to get you need to know someone to get and if you get PR YES you pay domestic fees.
You can make 15-18 / hour if you have overseas education!
Gucci luck

Getting into the masters of PT is very competitive.
