* Designation by Citizenship and Immigration Canada of organizations to provide “Educational Credential Assessments” (ECA) for immigration purposes under the FSWP was determined through a public call for service proposals. The three members of the Alliance of Credential Evaluation Services of Canada (Alliance) that submitted proposals to be designated by CIC to provide ECAs have been so designated. Other members of the Alliance may choose to work with CIC to be designated at a future time.

All seven members that make up the Alliance adhere to the Pan-Canadian Quality Assurance Framework for the Assessment of International Academic Credentials, and their assessments are used by many employers, regulatory bodies, professional organizations, and post-secondary institutions. For more information on the Alliance, please visit the Web site.
