Immigrating to Canada as a Physiotherapist?

While Physiotherapists are being fast-tracked by the government of Canada in their permanent residence applications as skilled workers, the question remains unanswered as to what steps a physiotherapist should take after he/she lands in Canada.

The International Organization for Migration said that, despite the current downturn, rich nations will continue to need foreign workers to fill jobs their shrinking work forces cannot or will not do. In its 4th World Migration Report, the Geneva-based intergovernmental body said there are more than 200 million migrants around the world today. Developed nations compete for highly skilled immigrants, but there is also a growing need for low-skilled workers in rich countries, the report said. Planning immigration is "especially important during downturns in the global economy such as the one we are witnessing today," said Gervais Appave, one of the editors of the report. Appave said the Asian financial crisis in the 1990s demonstrated that the need for immigrant workers cont...
