OT Pen Pal

Hiya All

My name is Tash and like many other Covnertry Student (England), I have been given the task to make interactions with other international OT students to get a better understanding of the similarities and differences between the two courses and fields of work.


Please drop me an email at millert10@uni.coverntry.ac.uk, if you do not mind educating me on what its like being an OT student in your country.

Kind Regards

Tash Miller

Occupational Therapy Penpals

Hi! I’m an apprentice occuptional therapist in my first year of studies in the UK. For one of our assignments we have been asked to make a pen pal from another country to talk about OT practice. if anyone would be willing to let me ask them a few questions that would be great :)

Many thanks

Rachel

Emigrating to Canada (Ontario) from the UK to work as an OT

Hi! So I’ve never used this platform before but seems like a great place to start to get in touch with fellow OTs for advice!

I am planning to emigrate to Toronto from the UK and work as an OT- has anyone else been through this process/familiar with it and can offer some much needed advice?? - -the dos/don’ts - SEAS- competency exams - the NOTCE - time frame-

or any other useful advice is more than welcome!

thank you!

Hi, i went through the process and it took me a couple of years, however, i have a colleague who also did it in a few months, so certainly don't be disheartened if it doesn't go smoothly. There are a few hurdles to jump through, some relevant and some less so. my advice would be to get as much of your information together as possible before, or as soon as they request. Regarding the NOTCE, i found it worth paying for the extra revision materials. Although it's all OT, you have to remember that students in Canada have covered slightly different material, a lot of the wording and health systems is slightly different. I didn't find it a breeze, but I did pass first time. Once you have it though, working over here is great and I would really recommend giving it a go. Good luck.
