What is the International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS)?

IQAS helps immigrants obtain recognition for the education they received in other countries. IQAS provides certificates of comparison between degrees, diplomas and certificates received in another country with Canadian degrees, diplomas and certificates.

IQAS certificates can be used by:

• People educated outside of Canada, to help them to get a job, join a professional licensing body or enrol at an educational institution.
• Employers who need to know if the education received in another country meets provincial standards.
• Educational institutions which need to know if a degree, diploma or certificate meets their entrance requirements.
• Professional licensing bodies that need to know if the education received in another country meets the standards set by their associations.
