New York, NY, March 19, 2013 Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has awarded World Education Services Canada (WES Canada) an International Qualifications Network (IQN) Award for Best Practices in Educational Credentials for WES’ publication Best Practices: Strategies and Processes to Obtain Authentic International Educational Credentials. "We are incredibly proud of this honor and grateful to Citizenship and Immigration Canada for recognizing the work of WES Canada. One of the most serious challenges that skilled immigrants face when they move to North America is a lack of recognition of their academic credentials.” said Mariam Assefa, executive director of World Education Services. "We developed this guide to help streamline the recognition of foreign academic credentials so that newcomers can gain access to appropriate education or employment opportunities in Canada" she continued. The Guide was developed by a team comprised of WES staff and representatives from occupational regulatory bodies in Ontario.
