Unlike many other countries the registration of physiotherapists/physical therapists does not occur at the national level. In order to practise pharmacy  you must be licensed or registered in the province or territory in which you will work.

The profession of physiotherapist is regulated in Canada, which means that it is illegal to practise if you are not licensed by the regulatory body for the jurisdiction in which you work. The provincial regulatory bodies set the standards for entry into the profession, and they require that you have an academic degree in physiotherapy followed by a period of supervised hands-on training.

All the provincial regulatory bodies are members of the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators, which administers the Physiotherapy Competency Examination (PCE).

The PCE is described as the national entry-to-practice standard for physiotherapists. All provinces except Quebec require that those who were educated outside Canada take the PCE.

When you know where you will settle and work in Canada, you should contact the appropriate provincial regulator for specific information about your jurisdiction.
