The Canadian Federal Express Entry Program requires an evaluation of credentials through various third parties, to include the World Education Services, and various provincial colleges.
When I searched the WES database, TESU didn't appear on the recognized colleges, which is quite frustrating, considering TESU lists the WES as one of the agencies responsible for evaluating foreign credits for transfer. I personally e-mailed Alberta's IQAS evaluation service, and they gave me the run-around: they didn't specify if TESU meets the requirements.
IQAS requirements:
IQAS only conducts assessments of education obtained at institutions that meet the following recognition criteria:
- The institution is formally approved by a designated competent authority within its own country as a quality institution.
- The institution is widely accepted by other institutions and agencies, both within and outside the country.
Review your country’s educational institution recognition process if you’re unsure if your institution meets this criteria.
When reviewing your application, IQAS checks:
- level of education
- duration of study
- general content of study
- function of program
They may or may not accept regional accreditation, because there are other factors at play, including duration of study. The good news is that Canada allows you to use several different organizations to evaluate any credentials, so if one fails, maybe another won't?
