How to Provide Documents
As part of the credentialling process we review documents related to your training. We review your documents to see if your education is similar to a physiotherapist educated in Canada. Some documents you can provide yourself. Other documents must be sent by your school or other agencies. Also, if your documents are not in French or English, you must provide certified translations. Carefully review our requirements for documents.
- We DO NOT accept original documents (such as a degree or passport)
- We do not store or return documents.
- All documents sent to us must be either copies of originals or certified translations (notarized translations are not permitted)

- All documents sent by your school or authorized authority must be attested with stamps, and/or seals, and/or signatures from the appropriate school authority.
Create Profile on Client Portal
Clients can create a profile in the Client Portal before applying for credentialling. By creating a profile, you will be given a Client ID number that you add to your documents to ensure they are added to your profile in a timely manner. It will also allow us to add any documents to your profile before you apply.
