Credential assessment is the process of evaluating and verifying the qualifications, degrees, and professional experiences of individuals who wish to establish themselves in Canada.

This comprehensive guide aims to shed light on the intricacies of credential assessment in Canada and demonstrate how Akrami & Associates can be your trusted partner in navigating this crucial aspect of your immigration journey.

As you embark on this exciting journey towards a new chapter of your life in Canada, let us be your guide through the intricate world of credential assessment. Together, we can ensure that your qualifications are not just recognized but celebrated in the land of opportunity.

Why credential assessment matters:

In Canada, having your credentials assessed serves multiple purposes:

• Employability: It helps prospective employers understand your qualifications, ensuring that you are considered for positions that match your expertise and experience.
• Job Search: It assists in identifying the types of jobs that you may be eligible for based on your credentials.
• Standards Compliance: It determines if your credentials meet the standards set for Canadian workers in your field.
• Training and Further Education: It helps you identify if further training, education, or Canadian work experience is needed to meet specific job requirements.

Now, let’s explore the various scenarios in which credential assessment becomes vital and how Akrami & Associates can support you:

Immigrating as a Federal Skilled Worker (FSW):

If you plan to immigrate to Canada as a Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), you must undergo Educational Credential Assessments (ECAs). This assessment validates your foreign educational credentials, such as diplomas, certificates, foreign degrees, or other proof of your credential. These assessments are crucial in determining the equivalence of your credentials to Canadian standards.

Akrami & Associates can guide you through the ECA process, ensuring that your foreign educational credentials are properly assessed and recognized, giving you the best chance to meet the FSW program requirements.

Working in regulated and non-regulated Occupations:

In Canada, jobs are categorized into two main types: regulated and non-regulated.

• Regulated Jobs: These are controlled by provincial, territorial, and sometimes federal laws. They require compliance with specific standards and are governed by regulatory bodies or apprenticeship authorities. Examples include professions like architects, plumbers, and engineers.

• Non-Regulated Jobs: While they don’t have the same regulatory requirements, some employers may still require you to have specific qualifications or certifications. Akrami & Associates can help you navigate the complexities of credential assessment for both regulated and non-regulated jobs, ensuring that you meet the necessary requirements for your desired position.

Studying in Canada:

If your plan is to study in Canada, you’ll need to have your educational credentials assessed. This assessment is crucial for admission to post-secondary schools in Canada. While some schools can perform the assessment themselves, others may require you to go through an assessment agency.

Akrami & Associates can help you determine the type of assessment your chosen educational institution requires and guide you through the process. This ensures that your academic credentials are properly assessed and recognized, paving the way for your educational journey in Canada.
