STRENGTHENING OUR ALTERNATIVE CREDENTIAL EVALUATION POLICY

STRENGTHENING OUR ALTERNATIVE CREDENTIAL EVALUATION POLICY

Due in large part to the increased number of displaced people finding resettlement opportunities in Canada, CAPR’s Credentialling Program has enriched our Alternative Credential Evaluation Policy. The policy establishes a standardized method for assessing the educational credentials of internationally-educated physiotherapists (IEPTs) who cannot access the required documents or information due to extraordinary circumstances.

CAPR’s credentialling team will begin working with IEPTs within the new policy framework in 2020. The new policy includes rigorous requirements to ensure a fair and consistent evaluation process in the absence of traditionally required documentation.
