Thank you very much for this! This is really helpful since I’m in the middle of deciding whether to take up OTA/PTA or Fitness & Health. Also, in anlong perspective, its really hard to find some basis or even literature regarding this matter. Thank you for putting some light on it. Thanks to this, I have confidence in the course I’ll choose ☺️
Hey there, I actually graduated from Fitness & Health! Definitely worth the experience and landed a PT job at GoodLife! Now I'm looking to expand my belt and add to PTA/OTA! It's within or similar to my scope of practice!
- Best Wishes & Good luck!
@@jessieisallin Thank you so much! Best of luck too! 😊

Hello maam i have a big confusion please help me out
Hello mam .m planning for student visa.as I have less options for may intake,would you suggest me courses available for may intake?it would be better if it is pg diploma as I have 7 years of experience and got 7 bands overall.my plan is to crack the license exam.hoping for your quick reply.
Is it possible to become a research coordinator after MSC kinesiology??
Hello ma'am, how can we ask questions to rutali ma'am (sorry if I didn't spell the name correctly). I have a few questions to ask her , does she have a youtube channel? Could you please answer these questions
1. After doing the course we can work as a PTA, but after 1-2 year if i feel like i want to give the exam and be a PT, then what? Do i have to go through the credentialing process then?
2. Should we get our credentialing done before applying for the Pta/ota diploma course and then apply for the programme in case we are planning to give PCE?
Which of the above options is better? I mean the credentialing thing is valid for 2 yrs i guess? Im not sure. Staying in canada while studying pta/ota diploma is it easy to get my bachelor's credentialing done or not?
Aisha mam credentialing Process needs to be done when we r in india bcoz there r so many documents which we need to collect from our respective universities and even if it.s not approved then we. Have to do some online courses so as per my view it.s better to do it from india and even it is time consuming ( 6 mnths )
@@afsaandokadia9432 Thank you so much! This is really confusing honestly i mean, if i give 6 months on just applying for credentialing and then apply for a degree there as a pta which is again 2 yrs, then there is so much time that's lost. :(
@@Aisha-zs5zj mam it.s better that if we take some other course bcoz if pce exms ( allah na kare ) we r not able to clear then we can work in another field ,as rmt or accupunctrist or anything else ,2 yrs diploma will be worth
Whts u r point of you mam
@@afsaandokadia9432 I think the same but Diploma toh diploma hi rahega, aap acupuncture mei karo ya physio mei, pay utna hi rahega almost. And PTA karne ke baad PCE exam dena compulsory nahi hai i think, I'm not sure. Even i feel that we should do some other course but ultimately it depends on personal goals & preferences.
@@afsaandokadia9432 my Instagram account is @artsy_aba (my art account) please ping me there, a few things i want to talk about which are personal so i dont want to put them in the comment here.
Thnku mam can u pls mention requirements for pta diploma
Ma'am Is it a good choice to directly study this pta course and become a pta than being a physiotherapist
Hi!!

Hi Pooja,

@@movementmastersphysio_50 thank you , I’m already Immigrant here in Canada, I thought I need to enroll again in school to take again PTA thank you for the information,so I will try to apply a job as a PTA .Thank You & stay safe.
What if i have Master's in PT and coming as a PR in Canada. Can I practice my PT directly or work as PTA without getting licence?
Can u plz make a video on how to get admission in otpta and what is the criteria for an international student.
Ma’am I’m having a big confusion here . Can you help me out with this.??
I am in the process of applying for PR . I am from India. I am an OT and done my masters here..also got my credentials from ICAS assessed as masters in OT. I want to know how do I proceed once I get to Canada to get a job ?? Do I have to go through a OTA program or is there any other way to apply for a licence?
Many people said about if you want to get job in Canada you need reference is it true?
If is it true pta will help to gain that reference for job?
If i study similar subjects is it easy to prepare for PCE?
Is there any license exam required for work as physiotherapy assistant in Canada?
Can please give in information of your friend Rutali? It’d be of great help
Hello ma'am

Ma'am earlier in another video u mentioned inorder to work as physical therapy assistant, BPT degree from india is sufficient ,then what is the necessary of this PTA/OTA course could you please clarify it
Hi,
The OTA PTA diploma is not at all necessary- it’s just that many prefer this course to apply for student visa. The course is very similar to PT field.
@@movementmastersphysio_50 thank you so much

Check on Google Canada association of physical therapy
Is this course worth in Canada OR not?
Which one has a good future ota/pta or health and fitness promotion? I am intrested in both but want to take which has better income after completion?
Ota and pta u can progress and work anywhere in the world
OTs
maam is it will make a difference if we choose a post secondary diploma instead of post graduate diploma in our CRS score or getting pr? As OTA/PTA diploma is a post secondary diploma.
The only difference in terms of points will be if you take a 1 year program versus a 2 year program as that is one of the questions while submitting your express entry profile. However there is no such question about post secondary or post graduate diploma.
@@thesmartphysio6985 Ma'am will there be visa refusal if we opt for ota/pta diploma after bpt instead of graduate certificate courses in Canada, as the agents are saying it is not a wise decision to go for diploma courses if you are a graduate.
Mam plz make a video on Dietician field in canada.
did you say health and fitness graduates can get a job in a hospital in Canada?
Yes

For PTA jobs- hospitals do prefer people with OTA/PTA diploma
Once you clear PCE- you can definitely work as a PT in hospitals

Can you plz tell about the pay rate per hour of PTA and OTA in canada ???
It starts with minimum wage $14 and may go up with experience.
Can a person with BPT degree from India work as a PTA in Canada ? What are the requirements to do so?
There are no requirements except a proof of completion of your bachelors degree and/or relevant experience. You can come and directly work as a PTA in a clinic or retirement/ long term care home/ nursing home. However to work in a hospital you need to have a PTA diploma from a Canadian college.
@@thesmartphysio6985 mam I'm done my bpt from India, after coming Canada on PR n passing PTA would I got job in hospital in cardio field as a physiotherapist or I have to do some other ways plz guide me
Yes
I heard if you are already a bpt holder from india and if you are looking for a assistant pt program you will get visa rejection .is this true plz reply pooja or ruthali?
Your visa won't get rejected but OT/PTA courses will fetch low points for PR. After graduation if you will go for grad cert courses that would be best.

U know 😂🔥
Yes
Can physiotherapy use the suffix dr before their name....Mam please revert
No
Unless u have dpt like in us
No
