License to Practice
Students are reminded that neither a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy, nor a Master of Physical Therapy degree confer the right to practice physical therapy. The license to practice physical therapy is granted by the licensing body of the province in which one intends to practice.
The national licensing examination is conducted by an external organization, the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators. The licensing examination is available to physical therapy students graduating from Canadian universities. In most provinces, successful completion of this examination is required to meet licensing requirements.
