How to Apply

Submitting an Application

All applicants seeking admission to the MScPT program must submit an application from the Ontario Rehabilitation Programs Application Service (ORPAS), which is a division of the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC). 

Applications are available from ORPAS annually in mid-October and the application deadline is usually early January. Full instructions on the application process and required documents are provided on the ORPAS website

Notes for Internationally Educated Physical Therapists

The first step for internationally educated physiotherapists who wish to practice in Canada is to apply to the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators for an assessment of their educational qualifications. Internationally educated physiotherapists who are credentialed as having a degree that is substantially equivalent to a Canadian entry-to-practice degree are not considered for admission to the MScPT program.

If interested in bridging the gaps identified in The Alliance credential review or preparing for the Physiotherapy Competency Examination, please read more about our Internationally Educated Physiotherapists Bridging program.

Please note that internationally educated physical therapists are not considered for admission to the entry to practice (MScPT) program. If interested in graduate studies in the rehabilitation sciences, please visit the University of Toronto’s Rehabilitation Sciences Institute.
