The Comparative Education Service (CES) was established by the University of Toronto in 1967 and is Canada’s only university-based academic credential evaluation service.
Whether you are applying for immigration to Canada through the Express Entry (including the Federal Skilled Worker Program), as a provincial nominee or a caregiver, or applying for Canadian permanent residency through various pathways (including Atlantic Immigration Program, Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot and Agri-Food Pilot), we can help you.
As part of Canada’s top research university, we are trusted by employers and professional agencies. Our educational assessment reports are recognized in Canada and beyond.
Providing over 50 years of educational expertise, CES is trusted by employers and professional agencies throughout Canada. The University of Toronto was recently ranked best university in Canada and 16th worldwide by the Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings, setting a standard for excellence that is upheld by CES in its mission to deliver the highest quality of service to clients. CES assessment reports are recognized in Canada and beyond.
CES is recognized by the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC) and is a member of the Alliance of Credential Evaluation Services of Canada (ACESC). They are committed to the Pan-Canadian Quality Assurance Framework for the Assessment of International Academic Credentials and the Recommendation on Criteria and Procedures for the Assessment of Foreign Qualifications adopted under the 1997 Lisbon Recognition Convention.
CES assessment reports can help you apply for employment or obtain the licenses you need to practice a profession in Canada. The reports are recognized for employment purposes by:
• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) (for the purpose of Canadian immigration, CES has been designated by IRCC as an approved assessment provider)
• Government of Canada
• Government of Ontario
• Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)
• Canadian Armed Forces
• U.S. Customs and Border Protection (TN Visa)
You can apply for the evaluation directly on the CES website. Once you apply, CES will need official copies of your academic transcripts. We are official partners of CES for verified transcripts delivery. You can order your documents to be sent to CES by applying on Electronic Transcripts. Documents sent via Electronic Transcripts ensure that your application is processed faster since we send pre-verified transcripts in electronic format.
