Information on requirements to practise

The profession of respiratory therapist is regulated Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. In these provinces, it is illegal to practise the profession of respiratory therapist without being licensed as a full member in the relevant provincial regulatory body. Provincial regulatory bodies of respiratory therapists are responsible for setting the standards for entry into the profession and for issuing licences to those who meet established standards of qualifications and practice. Applicants in Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario must pass the registration exam set by the Canadian Board for Respiratory Care, or for Quebec, l’Épreuve Synthèse du Programme.

In those provinces and territories where the profession is not regulated, employers still require respiratory therapists (RTs) to have completed RT education in an accredited program, passed the national registration exam, and be a member of the Canadian Society for Respiratory Therapy (CSRT). The CSRT is a professional association for all RTs in Canada, and the credentialing body for RTs in non-regulated jurisdictions. Becoming a CSRT member allows RTs in non-regulated jurisdictions to use the title of registered respiratory therapist (RRT).

Information on assessment of qualifications

Once you know where you will settle and work in Canada, you should contact the provincial regulatory body (see list below). For non-regulated provinces (British Columbia and Prince Edward Island), contact the CSRT for further information about assessment procedures. Although these associations will provide information on requirements to practise, they are not set up to assess foreign credentials prior to your arrival in Canada.

Foreign-trained respiratory therapists may contact the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists for information about their assessment mechanism for foreign qualifications.

You may also consult our Fact Sheet No. 2, which has been compiled to help individuals learn more about how to obtain an assessment of their qualifications for employment purposes in Canada. We draw to your attention the list of evaluation services in question 4 in this fact sheet. Although these services offer expert advice on how qualifications obtained abroad compare with credentials obtained in a Canadian province or territory, the evaluation is advisory only and does not guarantee recognition of your qualifications for employment or certification purposes in Canada.

Information on assessment for immigration purposes, under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is an immigration program administered by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), the department responsible for immigration to Canada.

CIC has listed this profession (NOC 3214) as an eligible occupation under the FSWP. To apply for immigration to Canada under this program, one of the requirements* is to obtain an “Educational Credential Assessment” (ECA) for immigration purposes from a CIC-designated organization. We invite you to communicate directly with one of the designated organizations to begin this process from outside Canada.

*It is important to note that this requirement is for immigration purposes only. It is separate from the process to obtain a license to practice from the relevant regulatory body listed below. Obtaining a license to practice is not required to apply for immigration.

Information for foreign-trained medical laboratory technologists

(3211) Verified: 2011 10 31

Information on requirements to practise

The profession of medical laboratory technologist is regulated in Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan, where regulatory bodies (also called regulatory colleges) establish the rules and regulations that determine who may practice as a medical laboratory technologist. Their primary role is to protect the public. If you wish to work as a technologist in any of these provinces, you must be registered with the regulatory body (see list below).

The Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) works in partnership with provincial regulatory bodies, but is a completely separate organization. Its primary role is to advocate and certify people in the profession. This certification is accepted across Canada and is required in the provinces and territories that do not yet have an individual regulatory body.

Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS): P.O. Box 2830, LCD 1; Hamilton ON L8N 3N8 Canada; Phone : 905-528-8642; Phone (alternate): 1-800-263-8277; Fax : 905-528-4968; Email : pla@csmls.org; http://www.csmls.org/

CSMLS certifies in the following disciplines:

General Medical Laboratory Technologist
Clinical Genetics
Diagnostic Cytology
Medical Laboratory Assistant

General Medical Laboratory Technologists must be competent in these five disciplines: clinical chemistry, hematology, clinical microbiology, transfusion science, and histotechnology. Diagnostic cytology technologists must be competent in both gynecological and non-gynecological analysis.Clinical genetics technologists must be competent in both cytogenetics and molecular genetics.

Eligibility requirements to the CSMLS Medical Laboratory Technology certification examinations involve completion of an accredited educational program or a two-step prior learning assessment process to evaluate their education, training and work experience for equivalency (Seehttp://www.csmls.org/Certification/Certification-Process/IEMLT.aspx?lang=en-CA).

Information on assessment of qualifications

CSMLS has a prior learning assessment process available to foreign-trained medical laboratory technologists before or after arrival in Canada. For further information on this process, consult their online information athttp://www.csmls.org/Certification/Certification-Process/IEMLT.aspx?lang=en-CA, or contact CSMLS:

Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS): P.O. Box 2830, LCD 1; Hamilton ON L8N 3N8 Canada; Phone : 905-528-8642; Phone (alternate): 1-800-263-8277; Fax : 905-528-4968; Email : pla@csmls.org; http://www.csmls.org/

You should note that if you are already licensed to practise your occupation in a province or territory of Canada, and later wish to work in a non-regulated occupation, employers may request that you provide them with a formal assessment of your academic credentials.

If that is the case, or if you wish to have your credentials assessed for a purpose other than practising a regulated occupation in Canada, you may consult our Fact Sheet No. 2, "Assessment and recognition of credentials for the purpose of employment in Canada" and contact an academic credential evaluation service. Although evaluation services offer expert advice on how qualifications obtained abroad compare with academic credentials obtained in Canada, their evaluations are advisory only and do not guarantee recognition of your qualifications for employment or certification purposes in Canada. Please note that evaluation services charge a fee for their assessments.

Information on requirements to practise

The profession of occupational therapists is regulated in the provinces of Canada. This means that it is illegal to practise the profession or use the title of occupational therapist without being registered as a full member in a provincial regulatory body (see list below).

In the territories (Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon), occupational therapists must be eligible to sit for the certification exam administered by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT).

Some regulatory bodies have made arrangements with evaluation services to perform the assessment of foreign credentials. You need to contact the appropriate regulatory body of occupational therapists directly (see list below) to find out about assessment procedures. The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists can also provide information on assessments.

Information for foreign-trained physiotherapists

Physical therapy (Photo credit: United States Forces - Iraq (Inactive))

Information on requirements to practise

The profession of physiotherapist is regulated in all Canadian provinces and territories (except the Northwest Territories and Nunavut). It is illegal to practise this profession if you are not licensed or registered by the regulatory body for the jurisdiction in which you work. Only registered physiotherapists are eligible to use the terms "physiotherapist", "physical therapist" and the professional designation "PT".

The provincial/territorial regulatory bodies set the standards for entry into the profession and license or register physiotherapists to practise. An applicant must meet all the licensing or registration requirements of the province or territory where they will work. When you know where you will settle and work in Canada, contact the regulatory organization in that province or territory (see list below) about their requirements to practise.

The regulatory bodies in all provinces and in the Yukon are members of the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (The Alliance).

Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (The Alliance): 1243 Islington Avenue, Suite 501; Toronto ON M8X 1Y9 Canada; Phone : 416-234-8800; Fax : 416-234-8820; Email : email@alliancept.org; http://www.alliancept.org/

The Alliance assesses the educational credentials and qualifications of physiotherapists educated outside Canada on behalf of the Yukon Territory and all the provincial regulators (except Quebec). This assessment determines if the applicant's education and qualifications are substantially equivalent (similar) to that of a Canadian educated physiotherapist, and if the applicant is eligible to write the "Physiotherapy Competency Examination" (PCE). Most provincial and territorial physiotherapy regulators require applicants educated outside of Canada, as well as most Canadian graduates, to complete the PCE. For specific information aboutpractising in Quebec, contact l'Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (see list below).

Once you have passed the written and clinical parts of the PCE, and fulfilled all of the requirements of the provincial or territorial regulator, you can apply to that regulator to become a fully licensed or registered physiotherapist.

The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) is a national professional organization with branches across Canada. For more information on the profession, contact the CPA at:

Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA): 955 Green Valley Crescent, Suite 270; Ottawa ON K2C 3V4 Canada; Phone : 613-564-5454; Phone (alternate): 1-800-387-8679; Fax : 613-564-1577; Email : information@physiotherapy.ca; http://www.physiotherapy.ca/

When you know where you will settle and work in Canada, you should contact the appropriate provincial regulator (see list below) for specific information about your jurisdiction.

Information on assessment of qualifications

Consult The Alliance's on-line information on credentialling process for eligibility for the Physiotherapy Competency Examination. Note that this evaluation does not guarantee employment and that The Alliance charges a fee for their service.

Information on assessment for immigration purposes, under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is an immigration program administered by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), the department responsible for immigration to Canada.
