Credentialing of Non-Canadian Academic Credentials for the Ontario Medical Schools
OMSAS (Ontario Medical School Application Service) requires that applicants, Canadian or non-Canadian, who have not met minimum course
number criteria utilizing their Canadian data and require inclusion of their international education data must have
their foreign transcript assessed by World Education
Services (WES). Consideration of the application is greatly facilitated by the WES assessment. Credentialing assessment
means converting foreign academic credentials into their Canadian educational equivalents. Provision of the WES
assessment does not replace the requirement for official transcripts.
Applicants are asked to request that a course-by-course evaluation be reported for their non-Canadian grades. The
assessment will not be valid without an overall GPA. However, the admissions committees of the medical schools reserve the
right to apply their own evaluation. WES evaluations are to be sent directly to OMSAS by WES.
Please Note: OMSAS will continue to convert grades of courses taken at accredited universities in the U.S.A. and
applicants do not require a WES assessment.
