Pathway Program

As mentioned, Canada is a country with immense scope for healthcare professionals. Let’s see how one can practice as a physiotherapist in Canada! Physiotherapists are highly welcomed in Canada, but it is not possible to directly practice as you move in. Applying for a PR visa might be a feasible solution, but the applicants need to write a qualifying exam and substantiate their expertise to practice physiotherapy in the Canadian context. Anyhow the exams are going to be a hard nut to crack (if at all you feel that you are competent enough, please go ahead!)

Let’s see the other way around too! Pathway programs…

Taking up a pathway program in physiotherapy will enable the practitioners to bridge the professional gap they have between their present occupation and the one they are going to take up in Canada.

For instance, people practicing in their native country will be having a conventional methodology of carrying out the physiotherapeutic practices which might be insufficient to work in Canadian healthcare settings. There might be a knowledge gap in how to work in Canadian hospitals and other Canadian healthcare infrastructures. So, these pathway programs are designed exclusively for physiotherapists who plan to migrate to and work in Canada.

You’ll also have the chance to study advanced rehabilitation concepts, common medical conditions, and therapeutic techniques used in occupational therapy and physical therapy.

Study in BC – Canada Migration

Migrating to Canada is a never-ending aspiration for all of us. The great white north has always been favoring immigrants and international students in every possible aspect it can (to migrate or to study in BC). Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories where immigrants can start the life of their dreams. Moreover, there are globally acclaimed institutions in Canada that are delivering top-quality international education in almost all domains. Therefore, Canada remains the best choice for both immigrants and international students for the quality of life it offers.

Out of all, British Columbia is one of the sought-after provinces in Canada for the opportunities it offers. In every possible facet like employment, livelihood, cost of living, etc, BC is evidently the best. But due to the flooding of immigration applications, the Canadian federal government and BC provincial government together made certain changes in the eligibility criteria to migrate to BC.

 

Eligibility criteria to migrate to BC, Canada!

British Columbia Provincial Nomination will require the following from an applicant to nominate. Basically, to migrate to BC you need,

  • Full-time work experience of at least 2 years in any of the listed skilled occupation
  • A full-time indeterminate offer letter from an eligible BC employer
  • Be a professional in an occupation classified as TEER 0,1,2, and 3
  • For B-level occupations, a language proficiency test result of English or French with a minimum CLB 4 is required

  • Substantiate the capability to meet minimum income requirements and pay for living and housing expenses in BC by showing,
  • Annual Salary in BC
  • Location of Residence in BC
  • Number of dependents

Uffff, I can hear you murmur ‘Will I ever migrate to BC?’ Relax…

The protocols to migrate to BC are quite stringent, unlike other provinces. Because a job offer from a BC employer is mandatory for the applicants. And, you might have heard people telling ‘getting a job offer in BC is a piece of cake’. It’s easier said than done. Of course, getting a job offer is possible but demands great work behind.

However, you can still migrate to BC even though you don’t have a valid job offer. In fact, not having a job offer is not at all a matter.

But wait! Has anyone told you about other possibilities to migrate to BC other than PNP? Probably No., I guess! Let me uncover it on behalf of CanApprove!

Difference between public and private colleges in Canada

You might have read or heard the words ‘private college and public college’ frequently if you are a student planning for overseas education in Canada. But have you ever thought about what are those and what are the prime differences between those two?

Yes, one might simply say that a private college is an institution for which someone or a corporate group other than the government takes ownership. On the other hand, a public college is a government undertaken institution that comes under the direct control of federal education regulatory bodies. That’s right!

However, there are other important differences between these public and private colleges that you should know before delving into the Canada overseas education process. Choosing between a public and private college can be a bit confusing to determine which type of institution best serves your purpose of study.

Hence, you’ve got this blog to get some better insight into the above context.

Public College Vs Private College

Public colleges are run by the government which means they are funded by the government and the public while private colleges do not have any means of monetization to operate other than the tuition fees.

International students who choose to pursue higher education overseas often end up in Canada, regardless of the type of institution they select, whether it is a public or a private one.  This can be inferred by the following graph, which depicts the enrolment of international students.

Let us delve a bit more of the differences between the public and private colleges.

Some of the major differences between private and public colleges are in terms of,

  • Tuition Fees
  • Education & Programs offered
  • Class size
  • Career Opportunities
  • Academia
  • Diversity Factor

Tuition Fees

Private colleges may be more affordable than public colleges, and there is not much deviation in terms of tuition fees for international students and domestic students. Both are likely to be the same. There are scholarships offered to international students too when an exemplary academic portfolio is substantiated. The scholarship may support your tuition costs, study materials, and boarding.  This justifies the private college’s affordability.

Public colleges are usually cheaper for domestic students, whereas international students should pay the full fees.
However, one can apply for a scholarship to have a part of the fee exemption.

(Note: even though public colleges are run by the government, some institutions will include the university operational charges (maybe a part of it!) in the student funding.)

Education & Programs Offered

Private institutions equally perform to that of public institutions. Both are well-staffed and have an excellent way of teaching that directly influences the lives of program participants.

It’s just that in private institutions, the programs offered could be more limited.  On the other hand, public colleges offer a broader range of programs and may offer more research opportunities.

The following lists out the top programs desired by international students.

  • Information Technology
  • Engineering
  • Business Management
  • Law
  • Psychology
  • Computer Science
  • Arts
  • Hotel Management
  • Medical
  • Journalism

Class Size

Public colleges are generally massive, with large classrooms and a huge student count.  This may lead to less staff-student interaction.  However, there are some colleges with compact classrooms as well.  Conversely, private colleges generally have small classrooms and a limited student count which has a close staff-student interaction.

Career Opportunities

There are prospective job opportunities for international students in private and public colleges. International students studying in public colleges can work part-time but those studying in private colleges will not have the provision to work part-time. However, these students happen to work but will be paid in the cash-in-hand method instead of having a payroll process like those studying in public colleges.

Academia

Public colleges will be operating in various places throughout the province or even in different provinces as they receive funds from the government and the public. Unlikely, private colleges are run by corporates or a person, or a group of members, and the operating process solely depends upon the tuition fees of the students and none other than that.

So, there are financial limitations for private colleges to act in various places, while public colleges have offshoots in various places in the country.

Diversity Factor

Public Colleges in Canada tend to be larger with a diverse student population, offering a broad range of extracurricular activities and resources.  On the other hand, Private Colleges in Canada might have a smaller, more close-knit community, potentially providing more personalized attention and support.

Top Private and Public Colleges in Canada

Private Colleges/Universities Public Colleges/Universities

However, what is to be noted is, students from public colleges get to stay back through the post-graduation work permit (PGWP).

In addition, private college students too have post-study stay-back period but not all private colleges are eligible. The course must meet the specific criteria for PGWP.  The following illustrates the number of international students who received the PGWP in 2022 country-wise.

What is a DLI in Canada?

Every educational institution in Canada must be approved as a DLI by the provincial or territorial government. ‘Designated Learning Institution’ certifies that the institution can host international students and provide the necessary infrastructure.

Why must you study in a DLI? 

These two reasons hold the fact that as an international student, you must study in a DLI:

1. Obtaining a study permit

The entry point of studying in Canada – ‘a Canada study permit’ lies in choosing a college/university enlisted as DLI. You can apply for a study permit only with the ‘Acceptance letter’ that you had received from the college/university. Hence, before applying for admission, make sure to check the DLI status of the institution.

If the college/university is not on the Designated Learning Institution list, you must skip them. Have an eye on the DLI Canada list!

2.A doorway to PGWP!

Apart from the academic knowledge and degree, international students anticipate a ‘work permit’ after graduation in Canada. You can obtain a PGWP if you study in a DLI that offers one.

Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) allows international students to work in Canada after studying. The duration of PGWP can range from 1 to 3 years. For example, if you graduate with a 1-year degree program in Canada, you can expect a PGWP up to 1 year and with a 2-year program you can expect up to 3-year PGWP.

Note: However, you are not guaranteed a PGWP if you study in DLI because not every DLI offers a work permit. Moreover, you must also meet the necessary eligibility and requirements to obtain the Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP).

DLI and PGWP – The myth-busting!

Myth: Studying in a DLI makes you eligible to obtain a PGWP

Fact: That’s not true! Even though some institutions are listed as DLI, you won’t be eligible to get a PGWP. Hence, it would help if you research finding a DLI that is aligned with a PGWP.

What is a Designated Learning Institution number?

A DLI number is a unique code allotted for the institution that starts with the letter ‘O’. You must add the DLI number in the ‘Details of intended study in Canada’ section of your study permit application.

Checking the DLI and PGWP details

Here are a few steps to check the DLI number, status, and PGWP information.

1.Visit the DLI web portal
2.Search by the college/university name
3.Select the province
4.Select PGWP preference (if needed)

And there it is! You can now view the DLI number and know whether the college/university is eligible for the PGWP program or not. Make sure you keep a note of the DLI number since you’ll need it for the Canada study permit application.

For example, the Designated Learning Institution number for the University of British Columbia (UBC) is O19330231062; and studying here will make you eligible for a Post Graduate Work Permit program.

Note: From June of 2014, all universities/college must add their DLI number in the ‘Acceptance Letter’ sent to the students. This move would help international students add the DLI number in the study permit application.

Response to the pandemic

All Designated Learning Institutions follow Covid-19 readiness plans which include:

1.The DLI must consider and act for the health and safety of the nearby community
2.The DLI must manage your 14-day quarantine period, which provides transportation to your location
3.It must provide support and information on sourcing essential items during quarantine, availing health insurance and health advice

Owing to this unpredictable pandemic situation, the Canadian government has ordered the DLIs to make necessary COVID-19 safety infrastructure to host international students on their campus. With the frequent changes in international border entries and restrictions, DLIs have decided to encourage international students to study in Canada. Intl’ students consider the readiness plans and support as a bright spot during these challenging times.

Take-home message

Studying in a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is the core for obtaining a Canada Study Permit and a Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). Moreover, DLI enlisted colleges have the advantage of providing basic infrastructure for international students and abide by the Covid-19 readiness plans. As a result, more international students are showing interest in Canada despite the pandemic.
