I have sent away my application to the UK for optometry. Right now, I am a 3rd year pre-optometry student at the University of Waterloo. Anyway, I have had zero luck finding out what is required in order to practice in Canada after receiving your Doctor of Optometry in the UK. I realize Waterloo has the bridging program now, but no one has been able to tell me whether when the Canadian Board of Optomterists assess my qualifications whether I would be able to write the Ontario exam right away, go into the 1 month bridging program, or the 1 year program. Also, can anyone say whether there is an advantage to doing the 4 year program at Glasgow Caledonian over the 3 year anywhere else in the UK? If anyone has graduated from the UK and is now practicing in Canada or trying to, any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
