I'm from Canada, but go to school in Ohio. During the summer I go back home. Naturally, over the summer I have gotten my observation hours from PTs near where I live. My question is when listing them as a LoR on PTCAS and they fill in the qestions about who they are, PT id, state in which licensed will their Canadian PT id be valid?

Thank you. Also if anyone has any tips for Canadians let me know.
 
I'd ask PTCAS about that, not sure. Are you planning to stay in the states after you graduate PT school? If not, I would recommend going to school in Canada- cheaper, shorter, and way easier to get licensed than trying to get licensed in Canada after US schooling.

I'm Canadian too. Did undergrad & currently PT school here in the states, I had them put in their Canadian info and it worked.
