Chiropodist
Working in Ontario
Internationally trained chiropodists who want to work in Ontario should contact the College of Chiropodists of Ontario. The College is responsible for regulating chiropodists throughout the province and will outline the steps required for internationally trained chiropodists to become licensed in Ontario.
Getting Help
Entry to practice requirements: You can find information on how you can practise as a regulated chiropodist and podiatrist in Ontario on HealthForceOntario.
Bridge training programs: If you are qualified in your profession but new to Ontario, you may benefit from a bridging program. Bridging programs help qualified immigrants move more quickly into their professions without duplicating what they have already learned.
