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 federal Public Service. The federal 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 appeals. 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:

    95 St. Clair Avenue West, Suite 1106
    Toronto, Ontario, M4V 1N6
    Tel: 416-962-9725
    Fax: 416-962-2800
