It's PLAR. Don't worry about it. No more PLAR till rules change. So people with bachelors also are eligible for PCE after doing a 3 months online orientation course and credentials evaluated by Alliance. :)

hello 4can,

My wife is a physiotherapist with a Bachelors. Can you advise if anything can be done from India to get Credentialing from Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators or any other regulators like these?

In short what does she need to do as a first step to get herself employed as a Physiotherapist or if not that at least an assistant physiotherapist?

She has more than 6 years of experience in this field.

Any response will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Megha,

Glad to hear from you.

I got this from The alliance website:

An overall score of at least 7 on the Academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The test must include all components: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

http://www.alliancept.org/pdfs/CAPR_Language_Proficiency_Policy_2012-12-17.pdf

Looks like she will have to take up Academic version of IELTS. Damn >:(

hi guys how can we send our degree, marksheets and certificate to alliance from wes.....
I just checked WES website for this info and I got to know that Alliance is an organisation that recognise qualification from WES.

You will need to enroll for ICAP.
Details of ICAP is given below:
WES ICAP (International Credential Advantage Package) is a service that allows applicants to store their verified academic transcripts with WES and have them delivered to academic institutions and professional licensing bodies together with their credential evaluation reports. Once stored with WES, verified transcripts can be delivered to any academic institution and professional licensing body at any time, now or in the future. Transcripts are sent to academic institutions and professional licensing bodies only.

See this URL too:
https://www.wes.org/accesswes/Pages/Logon.aspx
It speaks about access to institutions only:
AccessWES is a secure, online delivery and management system for WES evaluations and authenticated international academic documents. WES provides this complimentary service for accredited academic or duly recognized institutions. More than 1000 institutions use AccessWES for convenient and centralized international credential management.

God knows. She says it is too early now. So looks like I have to wait till she makes up her mind or it is the 11th hour. ;D

I will quote Munira:

For Credentialing as of 2013 you need just your entry level Physiotherapy degree i.e Bachelors Documents required are:
TO BE SENT BY CANDIDATE : 1)Attested copies of Degree certificate,
2)Clinical Internship Completion Certificate,
3)Passport 1st and last page,
4)FORMS A B C
5)DD or CC details for approx 985$. [check form A, for a duplicate copy of the result and International Courier you need to pay 25$ and 100$ resp along with 860$ for the credentialing process]
6)Proof of name change if applicable

TO BE SENT BY UNIVERSITY: 4 years marksheets-attested and sent by Registrar from the vicinity of the university itself. We can not send it from our home address. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS

TO BE SENT BY COLLEGE: FORM D and Official transcript (enquire with your college what documents they require from you and ow much they will charge you to courier it to ALLIANCE in a sealed envelope of the college.

ACADEMIC IELTS is required only for completion of the credential process. You can send your documents to Alliance first and give your IELTS later. I did the same and I got a confirmation from alliance for the same.
NOTE: within 6 months of applying for Credentialing we are expected to submit all our documents or else ALLIANCE will close our file and we will have to resubmit our application.

Work experience does not matter.

came to this conclusion after speaking to friends of mine who moved to canada in the last 2 years. in short learnt from their mistakes:)

once you get your credential evaluation report you can apply for the written exam. Check http://www.alliancept.org/exams_candidates_registering.php

there is just one written and clinical exam for all internationally educated physiotherapists.

The above mentioned Information is for Indian students. this is the procedure i followed.
