What are my options after my New Zealand physiotherapy board application was rejected due to my BC licence expiry and IELTS reading score deficiency for a Master's?
You have a few options after your New Zealand physiotherapy board application was rejected due to your expired BC licence and IELTS reading score:
- Reapply after updating your credentials: Renew your British Columbia physiotherapy licence and retake the IELTS exam to meet the minimum requirement of overall 7.0, with no band below 7.0, as required by the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand (subject to change).
- Consider a New Zealand Master's program: Enrol in a Master's in Physiotherapy Practice at a New Zealand university. This can help you meet local registration requirements if direct reapplication isn’t feasible.
- Explore other countries: With your Master's, 36 months of experience, and IELTS 6.5, you may qualify for physiotherapy roles in countries with different registration standards.
If you need help evaluating these options or planning your next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
