Resources for Internationally Educated Applicants

This information is for internationally educated physiotherapists who are considering working in Canada.

If you are planning to work in Canada, the following resource may be helpful:

The Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (CAPR) provides resources for applicants going through credentialling and examinations.

CAPR resources include:

• A Cost Estimator to help you estimate the total cost of the evaluation process, from credentialling to registration in a Canadian province.
• An Alternative Documents Policy for applicants who are unable to provide standard credentialling documents.
• Appeal options if you believe you were treated unfairly during credentialling or the exam process:
  • Administrative Reconsideration
  • Appeal Policy

Important:

The examination process will change in January 2026. For more information, review:
