Joy Stephen's Canada Immigration Podcast

Newfoundland and Labrador – Provincial Government Invests in Mentorship Program for Internationally and Canadian-Educated Physiotherapists, released by Newfoundland on 09 September 2025

Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC News. I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration Practitioner, bringing you this Provincial News Bulletin from the province of Newfoundland. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.

The Department of Jobs, Immigration and Growth is investing $89,000 over the next two years to support the Newfoundland and Labrador College of Physiotherapists (NLCP) in developing a mentorship program that will help internationally and Canadian-educated physiotherapists bridge education and experience gaps to meet provincial licensing requirements.

The initiative is designed to help address the province's ongoing shortage of physiotherapists, particularly in rural regions, by enhancing access to training and mentorship resources.

The mentorship program will offer targeted learning modules to address gaps identified during the mandatory mentorship process for provisionally licensed physiotherapists. These modules will help participants gain the Canadian workplace experience required for full licensure, while also supporting mentors with relevant tools and resources. By supporting candidates through the licensing process, the program aims to improve retention and encourage more physiotherapists to build their careers in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The program is particularly focused on supporting internationally educated physiotherapists and residents of Newfoundland and Labrador who have completed physiotherapy studies outside the province. The funding supports the hiring of a dedicated coordinator to help develop and implement the program, collaborate with post-secondary institutions such as Dalhousie University, and ensure alignment with provincial and national standards.

The Newfoundland and Labrador College of Physiotherapists is a self-regulated and self-supported professional body that regulates the practice of physiotherapy in the province. All practicing physiotherapists must register with the College and adhere to established standards of practice.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador encourages individuals with international or out-of-province credentials who are not working in their field to contact the Fair Registration Practices Office for guidance on licensure, employment pathways and available supports.
