Notes

Please carefully review the requirements for credentials from your country of education. Please note that submitting an
incomplete application and/or documentation will delay the assessment process.

Complete documentation must be provided for the program(s) of post-secondary study you wish to have assessed and
verified. In most cases, CES will assess the credential selected without requiring documents for credentials you have previously
earned. We do, however, reserve the right to request documents related to credentials earned prior to a higher award if we feel
they support the assessment.

If your documents were not originally issued in English or French, you must provide word-for-word English or French
translations. CES accepts translations done either by the institution that you attended or a professional translation
service.  Remember to include complete colour copies of your documents in the original language along with translations.

Please make your request to have official academic records (transcripts/statements of marks) sent by your educational
institution(s) directly to CES in a sealed envelope as soon as possible. Some institutions may take a considerable amount of time
to provide them.

CES reserves the right to contact the issuing authority at any time during the assessment process to obtain information about
the program completed and/or verify the documents, irrespective of the method by which they are received.

Please do not send original documents with your application.

All documents submitted become the property of CES and will not be returned or released to you.

Contact Us if you require clarification of our requirements.
