organizations that provide this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internationally-educated physiotherapists can benefit from additional training and support to become licensed to practise in Canada \u2013 especially with regards to learning more about how physiotherapy is practised in Canada.&nbsp; Bridging Programs, offered by several Canadian universities, are able to deliver services which meet the unique needs of this group.&nbsp; Typically, these programs offer customized classroom work, clinical placements and workshops aimed at helping candidates prepare for the Physiotherapy Competency Examination (PCE) and successfully transition into the workforce once licensed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are currently a number of Bridging Programs for internationally-educated physiotherapists operating in Canada. Many of these programs are also open to Canadian-educated candidates looking to brush up on particular exam-writing and clinical skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, please note that if CAPR identifies your education as substantially different to that of a Canadian educated physiotherapist,&nbsp;a Canadian physiotherapy bridging program cannot take&nbsp;your education from substantially different to&nbsp;substantially equivalent&nbsp;and&nbsp;make&nbsp;you&nbsp;eligible for the PCE. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you complete the&nbsp;CAPR&nbsp;credentialling process prior to applying to any physiotherapy bridging programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on curriculum, eligibility, enrollment and fees, please refer to their websites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oiepb.utoronto.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ontario Internationally Educated Physical Therapy&nbsp;Bridging (OIEPB) Program&nbsp;<\/a>at the University of Toronto (English)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ualberta.ca\/rehabilitation\/programs\/certificate-programs\/graduate-certificate-in-bridging-to-canadian-physical-therapy-practice.html\" title=\"\">Physical Therapy Bridging Certificate<\/a>\u00a0at the University of Alberta (English)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/physiorefresh.med.ubc.ca\/\">Physio Refresh<\/a>&nbsp;at the University of British Columbia (English)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridging programs for candidates wishing to practise in Quebec:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/spot\/programs\/pt\/pt-equivalency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Physiotherapy Equivalency Program<\/a>&nbsp;at McGill University (English)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/readaptation.umontreal.ca\/etudes\/formation-en-physiotherapie\/programme-de-qualification-pour-physiotherapeutes-qpp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Programme de qualification professionnelle en physioth\u00e9rapie<\/a>&nbsp;at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al (French)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator alignfull has-text-color has-blue-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-blue-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bridging Programs CAPR &nbsp;does not offer training or exam preparation courses to candidates wishing to prepare for the exam.&nbsp; However, CAPR partners with external organizations that provide this service.
