hello rathod,
i m also physio .. ..i m going to apply after few days .i was waiting for some of documents..plz share some queries regarding documents..i m just on border 67 points..what are main documents they mostly enquire? could i show my experience prior to results,that is after my last exam of PG?

 

[sharma77]

Hi Dear Sanju

The work done during PG will be considered as part time work , an for that u will not get any points.So then why you want to give details of that work???

ALWAYS REMEMBER 1 THING, be original in documents as you can, they are Canadians, hate fraud like anything.

Hope it will help.

Cheers

Physio jobs are abundant in the bigger cities. Im gunning for Ontario. My credentialling started in April 2009 and finished in November 2009. So roughly 8 months and my application had a precedent case; meaning someone who has the same credentials as mine has already gone through the process. I was eligible for PLAR and will start with the required 3 courses in the Spring next year via distance learning. God-willing I will be finished with these additional requirements by the time my PR visa pushes through.

All internationally educated physios let us all keep in touch.

[sharma77]

Hi Sanju

they calculate Total time period of work done and then give marks , if ur total time of a same kind of work done is more than 3 yrs than they will give u 19 marks!!!!

Remember they want 1 yr paid employment also.

Cheers

 

[sanjuban_ip]

good to hear all the best.is it true that physiotherapists don't prescribe exercises in rehabilitation and that it's done by kinesiologists?
