What is CES by Universities Canada?
CES evaluates foreign academic credentials to determine their equivalency in the Canadian system. This is crucial for individuals applying for Canadian immigration programs like Express Entry, seeking employment, or pursuing further studies in Canada.
Eligibility Criteria for CES
To apply for CES, you must:
- Hold a Foreign Credential: A diploma, degree, or professional qualification.
- Meet Documentation Requirements: Submit official transcripts directly from the issuing institution.
- Be Proficient in English or French: Documents in other languages require certified translations.
Benefits of Credential Evaluation
- Recognition of Foreign Education: Simplifies the process of proving academic qualifications.
- Improved CRS Score: Adds points to Express Entry profiles.
- Facilitates Career Growth: Recognized by Canadian employers and licensing bodies.
- Streamlined Immigration Applications: Mandatory for certain immigration streams, ensuring smoother processing.
