If you were educated outside of Canada, you must have your certificates and/or diplomas evaluated against Canadian educational 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 that are considered acceptable by a recognized Canadian educational institution.
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 appeals. Their web site provides links to a number of Canadian organizations that provide equivalency assessments. As well, you may contact the CICIC at:
