INTRODUCTION
Bridging courses are designed to help students meet the specific academic requirements needed to progress in their education or transition to a new academic system. These programs fill gaps in knowledge or skills, ensuring students are prepared for advanced studies
Credential evaluations, on the other hand, assess the equivalency of academic qualifications obtained from different countries or institutions. They help individuals understand how their credentials align with local education standards, making it easier to pursue further studies or professional opportunities
Both services are essential for smooth academic and professional advancement in a globalized world

CREDENTIAL EVALUATIONS
Credential evaluations assess the equivalency of academic qualifications earned in another country to determine how they compare to Canadian standards. This process helps immigrants, students, and professionals understand how their international education and experience align with local requirements, making it easier to pursue further studies, gain employment, or obtain licenses in Canada. Credential evaluations are essential for those seeking to continue their careers or education in a new country. See the list below for more informationÂ
Pathways and transfer
Transfer refers to the movement of a student from one postsecondary institution to another, which may involve transferring between programs or courses. However, a Program Pathway is a defined route that facilitates this transfer, linking related programs or fields of study across institutions. These pathways may include agreements between institutions, specify admission or program requirements, and allow for the transfer of courses or credits. Examples include articulation agreements, institution policy agreements, and admission pathways. For more information, click below
