If you are interested in studying Physical Therapy or working as a PT in Canada, a country where Physical Therapy is very well developed, then you should definitely have a look at the website of the Canadian Council of University Programs.
Very useful documents to look through are the following:
From their website:
"Physiotherapy is a dynamic health care profession with foundations in theory and research and specialized clinical expertise. Each of the 14 Canadian Universities offering physiotherapy education provide a professional, entry-level program and as of 2012 all will be at the Master's level. Within each of these programs, the curriculum is presented in a course-based Master's format. Ten programs are offered in English and 4 in French. Physiotherapy is a regulated profession meaning an active license or practice permit, from the provincial regulatory organization, is required. Successful completion of an accredited entry-level program allows the graduate to sit the national Physiotherapy Competency Examination (PCE). For most provinces, successful completion of the PCE is required for registration. Clinical Master's and/or thesis-based Master's and Doctorate programs are offered by most of the 14 Universities with entry-level programs. These are typically designed for physiotherapy and other healthcare clinicians wanting to pursue further academic education and generally follow a more traditional graduate education format. Physiotherapy specific and interdisciplinary post-graduate certifications and advanced practice courses are also available at many universities".
