Physical Therapists

Employers and Job Offers

HealthStaff recruits Physical Therapists for direct placement with Canadian health care employers. We are not a staffing agency and we do not place Physical Therapists (PTs) into temporary travel positions.

PTs are employed in acute care hospitals, long term care facilities, and community clinics. The provision of PT and essential health services is generally publicly funded in Canada and as such are delivered as part of Canada's extensive public health care system. PTs also deliver services which are outside of the publicly funded system.

Canadian law and existing collective agreements in place with employers and unions require employers to offer every foreign educated applicant the same pay and benefits offered to Canadian applicants with comparable qualifications.

Employers may provide financial assistance to help offset some of the costs related to relocation, immigration and or professional licensure in Canada. The exact terms and conditions of such assistance vary with each employer.

Employers require that foreign educated applicants make a commitment to work for them for a period of two years. Upon the completion of the initial two-year term, each PT has the option of remaining with the employer, or pursuing employment elsewhere.
