International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS)

The International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) is a program that evaluates foreign educational credentials to determine how they compare to Canadian standards. It provides individuals with a certified report on their educational qualifications, which is often required for employment, further education, or immigration purposes in Canada. IQAS helps employers, colleges, and government agencies understand the level of education someone has completed outside Canada, facilitating equitable recognition of international credentials. The assessment considers the content, level, and quality of the education to ensure an accurate and fair comparison to Canadian educational standards.
