Education
If you went to school outside of Canada
- If you were educated outside of Canada, you must have
your certificates and/or diplomas assessed against
Canadian education standards. This will enable you to
provide proof of Canadian equivalency when applying for a
job in the public service. The public service will accept any Foreign Educational Credentials as long as they are deemed comparable to Canadian standards, through a recognized credential assessment service. - Getting a Canadian equivalency is easier than it sounds.
The Canadian Information Centre for International
Credentials (CICIC) assists persons who wish to obtain an
assessment of their educational, professional, and
occupational credentials by referring them to the
appropriate organizations. - The CICIC does not itself grant equivalencies or assess
credentials, nor does it intervene on behalf of individuals or
in complaints to PSST. The CICIC can be contacted at www.cicic.ca.
Their Web site provides links to a number of Canadian
organizations that provide equivalency assessments. As
well, you may contact the CICIC at:
