我向多伦多的RRT协会咨询过，下面是他们给的回函。不过的确如8楼所说，RRT的职位很少。我从去年9月起定期在working in canada网站上查询，工资不低35/h，但是整个GTA的职位需求一般只有1个，有2、3个月没有需求。搞得我现在都没兴趣了。
Thank you for contacting the College of Respiratory Therapists of Ontario (CRTO).
In order to work in the field of respiratory therapy in Ontario you will be required to meet the registration requirements of the CRTO in place at the
time of your application. The current criteria include:
a) graduation from an educational program approved by the CRTO (a list of the approved programs is posted on our website at
http://www.crto.on.ca/apprvdpgms.aspx ), and
b) successful completion of a CRTO approved examination.
Since you have not graduated from an approved Canadian program you will likely not be immediately eligible for registration with the CRTO. However, we
have designed a Pre-Registration process to assess whether applicants educated outside of Canada meet the requirements for registration, and if not,
refer them to an appropriate pathway to fill those gaps and integrate into Respiratory Therapy in Ontario.
The following steps outline the typical Pre-Registration process:
1. Pre-Registration Form to begin the process you will need to complete and submit the Pre-Registration form
(
http://www.crto.on.ca/pdf/Reg/PreReg_Form.pdf ).
2. Credential Evaluation and Authentication As part of the Pre-Registration process you will be required to have your academic qualifications
verified by World Education Services (WES Canada). Please ensure that official transcripts from your educational program have been sent directly from the
Registrar’s / transcript office to WES. WES will attest to the authenticity of the documents reviewed and prepare a course-by-course evaluation report
as required by the CRTO. WES will send the evaluation report to you and to the College. To have your academic qualifications attested by WES, contact
WES at
www.wes.org/ca. Please note that you are responsible for the cost of the report and will be charged directly by WES for its services.
3. Respiratory Therapy Program Review - In order of an international program to be deemed substantially equivalent to an approved Canadian program
it must be reviewed and undergo a detailed assessment for equivalency. The College will look for evidence that the entry to practice competencies (please
see the National Competency Profile posted on our website at
www.crto.on.ca/ncp.aspx ) were being effectively taught and evaluated by the program.
However, since you did not graduate from a Respiratory Therapy program, the program review step would not apply in your case.
4. Competency Review where the pre-registration applicant is asked to meet with CRTO staff (either in person or by teleconference) in order to
complete a Competency Review Tool. The purpose of the tool is to assist the College in identifying details of the applicant’s knowledge and experience
related to the practice of respiratory therapy compared to the RT competencies listed in the Canadian National Competency Profile (see above).
5. Letter of Direction - Once the Pre-Registration process is complete, the College’s Registration Committee will review the information collected
and make a recommendation. A letter of direction will then be issued by the College and the applicant will be directed to one of the three possible
Pathways:
Pathway 1: This pathway will assist a Respiratory Therapist educated outside of Canada whose respiratory therapy program is substantially
equivalent and who is lacking only some particular competencies, to complete specific education. On completion of the process the applicant will be
considered as meeting the CRTO’s educational requirement for registration. Please note that this pathway applies only to graduates of respiratory
therapy programs.
Based on the outcome of the Pre-Registration process, the applicant may be required to complete one or more of the following:
Introduction to Canadian Health Care System (
www.iehpcanada.utoronto.ca )
Introduction to Respiratory Therapy Practice in Ontario (provided by the CRTO)
Anaesthesia Care
Critical Care Refresher, including mechanical ventilation
Neonatal/paediatric care refresher
Pharmacology Refresher
Clinical Simulation
Clinical Rotations (or if issued a Graduate certificate of registration, undergoes a period of supervised practice)
Canadian Board for Respiratory Care Exam Preparation
Pathway 2: The supported integration model will assist eligible Internationally Educated Respiratory Therapists and/or other Internationally
Educated Health Care Professionals in gaining advanced standing for previous study and integrating into existing full-time respiratory therapy diploma
programs. This model will enable learners to access Ontario financial aid support. Two community College RT programs have partnered with the CRTO;
Conestoga College in Kitchener and Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. These educational partners will set aside dedicated spaces for eligible
candidates. On completion of the program the IERT/IEHP will be a graduate of an approved Canadian RT program and therefore will meet the CRTO’s
educational requirement for registration.
Pathway 3: Internationally Educated Respiratory Therapists and/or other Internationally Educated Health Care Professionals who have not
completed a substantially equivalent respiratory therapy program and who are not eligible for advanced standing will be recommended to apply for regular
entry into any of the 6 full-time respiratory therapy programs in Ontario. If accepted the student will be eligible for Ontario financial aid and on
completion of the program the applicant will be considered as meeting the CRTO’s educational requirement for registration.

楼上是什么时候毕业的，在安省吗
？目前RT的就业市场如何呢？我收到了两个学校RT专业的offer，很犹豫是否去读，因为同时还申请了nursing。按自身兴趣和国内专业来讲，喜欢RT，但非常担心就业市场的问题
，请给些指导，谢谢！
