3. Credential Assessment
Do not expect that employers will be familiar with all the various international standards of education. Especially if your education derives from a country in which the standards are significantly different from those in Canada, it may be to your advantage to undertake an objective evaluation of your academic qualifications. Federal and provincial organizations exist which can provide this service, and some professional bodies may also be able to provide such evaluations specific to a specific industry.
By offering objective information on your academic qualifications, you provide your self with an advantage when being considered for the job of your choice. You can help to remove any uncertainty which may exist in the employer's mind as to validity of your education credential in comparison to the standards of Canada.
