INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION GUIDE for the assessment of education from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan<br />
Appendix A—Placement Recommendations<br />
Placement recommendations provide guidelines for<br />
comparing international <strong>and</strong> Canadian educational<br />
credentials <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ards. These recommendations are<br />
advisory in nature <strong>and</strong> indicate the general level of a<br />
credential in Canadian terms.<br />
Placement recommendations represent benchmark<br />
assessments <strong>and</strong> do not cover all credentials. However, the<br />
fact that a credential is not mentioned in the placement<br />
recommendations does not mean it cannot be assessed by<br />
IQAS. <strong>International</strong> credentials not specifically covered<br />
should be referred to IQAS for individual evaluation.<br />
When evaluating international credentials IQAS considers<br />
the following:<br />
• the education system of the country concerned<br />
• the recognition of the awarding institution<br />
• the level, length <strong>and</strong> structure of the program<br />
When appropriate IQAS may<br />
• consider that comparison to a different level of<br />
education may more accurately reflect the level of the<br />
international credential in Canadian terms<br />
• combine two or more credentials<br />
Given the different educational philosophies, objectives<br />
<strong>and</strong> program structures in educational systems around the<br />
world, evaluation in terms of direct equivalence to specific<br />
Canadian credentials is not possible. For this reason IQAS<br />
placement recommendations are made in terms of “generally<br />
compares” to <strong>and</strong> not “equivalent” to.<br />
