Nigerian Trained Physiotherapists Practicing In Nigeria Or In Diaspora. by Thetherapist: 11:33am On Apr 03, 2016
Good day colleagues. I have decided to create this thread for all Nigerian trained physiotherapist practicing in Nigeria or in Diaspora to network together on way forward in this our noble profession.

Its no longer news that the Nigeria society of physiotherapy is only out there to get our dues as physiotherapists with nothing to show for it or how else do we explain the shortage of physiotherapists in most of our tertiary health facilities and none in majority of state hospitals. MRTB isn't helping in any way as far as I'm concerned. Would stop here so as not to spread our dirty linen in public smiley

This thread is thus created for the following reasons:
1. To share information on job vacancies in various federal, state and private clinics that we are aware of.
2. To share lnformation on locum oppurtunities (some government hospitals in dare need of physiotherapists recruit on contract basis)
3. To discuss about leaving the country in search of greener pastures. How to get licensed in those countries, what the pay is, best way to get in.
Other issues that you feel necessary can also be added.
Thanks

So I will start the thread with the liitle I know about relocating to Canada as a physiotherapist.
I was discussing with a senior colleague few years back and I was made to realize the easiest way to migrate to Canada as a physiotherapist is through a study permit. You enrol for a 2 years masters program me after which you get entitled to 3 years PGWP. The three years I learnt can be effective for you to sort out your licensing process and get your way into applying for PR. You can start licensing process also while studying for your masters. The little challenge here is getting a supervisor for masters in rehabilitation science. Hence, the major reason why most colleagues there go for masters in public health, kinesiology or even disability studies ( chances of being admitted into this programmes as seems higher than going for masters in rehabilitation science)

Another means of migrating to Canada is through the Canadian express entry. This new Canadian immigration process has become more tasking for not only physiotherapist but all professionals that requires a license to practice in Canada. You need to be available in Canada to write the licensure exam.
Getting a job offer increase your score on the profile and your chances of being selected. Yet no license to practice for getting a job offer
Chances to getting nominated by a province is also slim as its a regulated profession

http://www.alliancept.org/credential_applicants_overview.php You can check on that link for the processes to getting a license

NOTE: This is based on my own personal research. Any addition, subtraction or more explanation to that is welcome especially from physiotherapist practicing in Canada, in the express entry profile or a Nigerian trained physiotherapist in Canada for a masters degree

Information about other countries is welcome

Interested in masters in physiotherapy in Canada? Here is a link to the list of universities
http://www.physiotherapyeducation.ca/CanadianPrograms.html
Note that the MPT is the entry level to practicing as a physiotherapist in Canada just like our B.Physio and BMR. So don't get confused in your search.
Re: Nigerian Trained Physiotherapists Practicing In Nigeria Or In Diaspora. by Thetherapist: 12:14pm On Apr 03, 2016
I need you all to join me here, then I can talk more about migrating to other countries and the process/ processes to getting a locum job in our various government hospitals.
I think I will stop here till I get more influx of physiotherapist. Don't want this thread to be a one man thing

Sorry this is coming late. I created this page to get influx of physiotherapist sharing ideas just like what we have for nurses, pharmacist and doctors on this forum but it's like our colleagues are not interested in such. I really don't know much about Dubai. But you have an edge with your masters as regards migrating to Canada. What is your total CRS score on the EE profile. What about your spouse. Send me a PM. Let's talk further

With your bachelor's you need 2 years experience, while with your Matsters you need 1 year experience to qualify for the DHA exam. After passing the exam ,you have to apply for job like any other applicant. The employer has to sponsor your visa.

Of course, you can get a good CRS point without licensure from the alliance. Licensure from the alliance is a long process on its own from credential evaluation to writing IELTS Academic to doing bridging courses ( if need be) before the final exam. If you can ace IELTS with at least 3 years work experience, and younger. U can get a good CRS score to eventually get ITA. I know of two physiotherapist that landed this year and same last year. So its not something tedious with adequate knowledge and preps. Visit the Canada immigration thread here on Nairaland and read the first few pages to understand how the whole process works. You can start credential evaluation with the alliance when you get COPR.

With internship hardship.

Sorry for the late response. I actually don't get mentions on Nairaland. So I tend to respond late. For ECA assessment, u can do ECA for your physiotherapy degree and get ITA. Just that you can't practice as a Physio when you land in Canada if you are not licensed. Licensing process is a long thing. So I advice you make it one thing at a time. Face the EE and get ITA. Then licensing can come in after that
