Language proficiency requirements

Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators. Alliance canadienne des organismes de réglementation de la physiothérapie.

To maintain high standards of quality and safety in physiotherapy practice, all internationally educated physiotherapists must demonstrate proficiency in English or French as part of the credentialling process.
 
Starting April 28, 2025, CAPR will require applicants to submit a successful language test result before CAPR begins the credential assessment. This operational improvement is designed to enhance applicant outcomes.
 
We encourage applicants to meet the language requirement before applying to CAPR to avoid delays in the process. For more information on language requirements and how to submit your report, visit our Language Proficiency policy and Providing Document pages. 
 
Looking for resources to support language proficiency? We have information available on our website.
 
For questions, please contact credentialling@alliancept.org.
