About Us
We do all our work in support of the public interest.
The Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (CAPR) is a not-for-profit organization that provides standardized entry-to-practice assessment (evaluation services) on behalf of the Canadian physiotherapy regulators (excluding Quebec).
Evaluation services include:
Credentialling:
- Determining whether an individual educated outside of Canada possesses the knowledge and skills (obtained through education and training) that are comparable to a graduate from an approved Canadian physiotherapy program.
- Determining eligibility to sit the Canadian Physiotherapy Examination.
Examination:
- Developing the Canadian Physiotherapy Examination, the entry-to-practice exam that assesses the competencies required for safe, effective, and independent physiotherapy practice.
- Administering Canadian Physiotherapy Examination, ensuring a standardized evaluation of ALL licensure candidates, maintaining comparable standards across jurisdictions, regardless of where candidates completed their education and training.
