Canadianizing Your Education with the CCEE

As a newcomer, it can be challenging to transcribe your international education and experience. The Certificate is beneficial to you because it helps to translate your foreign credentials and specialization into a Canadian context recognizable by employers. Check out Who Should Apply for more details.

Important CCEE Facts & Information for Newcomers:

• Foreign Credential Recognition – This process verifies your foreign academic credentials when applying to the CCEE. Once this verification is complete, you may also qualify for Foreign Competency Recognition, which gives you credit towards the Certificate. (This is equivalent to the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition tool)

* Immigrants can provide RRU with a foreign credential evaluation from cicic.ca

• English Language Requirements – As part of the application process, you will need to submit a proof of English language proficiency report.
