3. Most PT's work in private clinics

Along with Chiropractors, RMT, acupuncturists.

PT generally isn’t covered by the government healthcare. Unless the injury is work related or due to a car accident, the patient pays for the service, typically using whatever extended benefit plan their employer provides.

BTW, they are called Physiotherapists in Canada.

I don’t know if there is a shortage of PT’s like there are for nurses and family doctors.

Although I haven’t yet checked it out, there is apparently a Discord channel for the Healthcare Infusion that has all sorts of people who might be able to answer your questions.
