Hello Mahada,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

It is great that you are looking into this type of information before arriving in Canada.

You can find some helpful information in our Settlement.Org What are the academic requirements for post-secondary education? article.

It states,

If you studied outside Canada, you need to have your academic documents evaluated before you can apply to a college or university. Each school has its own requirements. Visit the school’s website or contact their Office of Admissions to find out their requirements and the process you should follow to have your credentials evaluated.

You can also find some additional information in our Settlement.Org Do I have to get my credentials evaluated before I apply? article.

Here is an excerpt,

If you studied outside Canada, you need to have your credentials evaluated. Each school has its own requirements.

Each university or college sets its own criteria for recognizing academic qualifications from outside Canada. Visit the school’s website or contact their Office of Admissions to find out their requirements and the process you should follow to have your credentials evaluated.

It may also be helpful to contact the nearest community agency to where you plan to move. You can find some listings in our Services Near Me section.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
