A credential evaluation is a comparison of your academic accomplishments to standards in Canada. This helps when schools, employers, licensing boards, or immigr...ation authorities need to recognize your international university degree. Yet, even this simple thing for refugees is a struggle. Getting credentials from refugee home countries is not that simple. To address this challenge and point out solutions like the WES Gateway program, join us along with our great partner WES Advisor next Thursday, July 30th to know more!
