CPO Update on New National Physiotherapy Exam

April 2, 2025

As a new national physiotherapy exam is being developed by the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (CAPR), the Board of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario has discussed the possibility of adopting this exam, most recently at the College’s Board meeting on March 24 & 25, 2025.

The College’s Board stated their intention to adopt the new national physiotherapy exam from CAPR, provided that there are clear and appropriate transition plans and service contracts. Adopting the new national exam means that the path to registration will include only a single exam.

CAPR will begin administering the new single, national exam in January 2026. The College is committed to continue offering the Ontario Clinical Exam (OCE) until March 2026 or longer if needed. The College is committed to ensuring a smooth transition that supports all candidates in the path to registration.

The College has identified that more details will be clear at the end of May 2025, and will communicate them to the physiotherapy community as soon as possible. Please see their website for more details and to leave a comment.
