NOC. 3142 - Physiotherapists

[OHM]

I suppose you can only wait and expect what comes next from London. If they indeed require a university sealed transcript, then you will be contacted if they are however satisfied with the documents they have then you'll probably receive medical next.

Hi guys, anyone here currently doing the credentialing with the Alliance. Does anyone have ideas how long it is taking the Alliance to complete the review once all documents are received. All of mine were received in December and the Alliance hasn't been forthcoming about how long it will take to complete the whole process.

Hi kg_bang,

Here's the link to the Alliance website. www.alliancept.org you'll get all the info you need there. You can refer to the FAQ section here for any other query you may have regarding the credentialing process http://www.alliancept.org/pdfs/credential_faq_2010_eng.pdf

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info 9jcanada, I was thinking it would be another slog but good things come to those who wait right????!
Regarding the exam, I actually found the written harder, it was a multiple choice paper. The main thing is their terminology, for example cane rather than stick etc. I also had a question about measuring walking aids and none of the answers where what I was thinking so it does mean you have to take your time and think a bit more about your answers as 2 of them are very close so you could misinterpret the question. I found it useful to do the example questions on the allliance website, this is a good example of the sort of thing you would be asked.
I never attended any of the tutorials, I just revised myself using books and talking to some of my colleagues who have had experience in different areas. For example spinal cord injuries-never done it and didn't have a clue but got a book on it an used some info my colleague had and went through it like that. I'm also based here in the UK so when I did the exam out there I literally went out for a 2 week hol and did the exam at the start. To be honest it doesn't matter where you go in the world physio is pretty much the same.

For the practical I revised for about 4-5 months (not every night!). I've been in outpatients for 3 years and before that I was doing inpatient ortho and medical wards so some stuff was still in the forefront (ish) of my brain.
It's not really the fact that it's hard, it's more the fact that it's a lot to learn. I found it helpful using the orientation resource, again from the alliance. This gives you a good overview of things to revise and examples to follow.
It's funny that the exam is on every part of physio so even if you're the best physio in your speciality they still want to know that you can be competent in other areas even though potentially your job out there would be nothing to do with that area!
Anyway, i hope that helps???? LEt me know if I can be of any more use and will keep waiting...........

Canada unlike the US, has a centralized requirement/criteria for credentialing and exams. This is so, regardless of the province you are intending to be licensed. The level of required documentation and credential review standard is the same for all provinces except Quebec which has it's own evaluation process. (note that Quebec evaluation will only be valid for employment in Quebec and no other province in Canada).

Following the completion of your credentialing process, some provinces (Ontario, Alberta, BC....) may grant you temporary/interim licence but you have to complete the first (written) stage of the exams. I think only BC currently gives limited validity temporary licences once' you've completed your credentialing and before the written exams.(Note: that temporary licences are subject to proof that you are sitting the next available clinical exam and also to supervision and professional indemnity insurance clauses). Other provinces don't give temporary licences and require you to complete and pass the 2 stages of the exam upon which you are granted a full/independent practice licence.

You can find more details about the requirement for licensing in each of the Canadian provinces by clicking on each province name right on the top of the Alliance home page at www.alliancept.org

As you can deduct already, it is a rather lengthy, multi-staged process, so it pays to start early. Preferably while yu are back in your home country. You will be saving time and resources by doing so

I hope this clarify your query. All the best.
