Dear Friends
I am a little bit confused about the physiotherapy profession market in Canada!
Some people told me it will cost around 10,000$ and about 2 years to get the License and it is not easy process and it can not be endorssed even if you have License in any other country of the world even the USA?!
Others told me that after they got their license they can hardly find part time job in Canada?!
Others (May be ambitious) told me that at least you will be paid 40CAD Dollar /hour as a physiotherapist in Canada and that per year you can get up to 150 Thousands Dollars HUGE MONEY FOR ME!?

Where is the truth please share your experience

Hi,
The Canadian PT licence exam is same all over Canada(unlike the US where the licence registration and exams are diff in every state.) About which state offers better job offers u can Google the information.

She needs to work on her IELTS as 7 is the minimum overall req for the license exam.

About immigration i cannot comment anything. But if u sponsor her it will be easier and faster process. But i cant b sure bout the procedure. But for her to work as th PT she needs to clear her license exams.
I can help you with the Licence exam details if you need.
All the best!
