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 />
