What is ICAS Canada?

The International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS) is one of the most trusted organizations designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to evaluate international educational qualifications. Established in 1996 under the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC), ICAS has assessed credentials from over 200 countries, helping students and professionals prove how their foreign education compares to Canadian standards.

Whether you’re applying through Express Entry, the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), ICAS plays a vital role in shaping your eligibility and success.

Why ICAS Evaluation Matters

• For Express Entry (FSWP Applicants):
  A credential evaluation is mandatory to qualify and submit your Express Entry profile. Without it, your application cannot proceed.
• For CRS Points:
  Earn valuable Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points for your education — up to 135 points for a master’s degree and 120 points for a bachelor’s degree. Even your spouse or partner can contribute up to 10 additional points with an evaluation.
• For Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs):
  Many provinces, including Ontario and Alberta, require or recognize ICAS evaluations to confirm educational credentials for provincial immigration streams.
• For Employment & Further Studies:
  ICAS reports are accepted by Canadian employers, colleges, universities, and professional bodies, especially in Ontario. These evaluations help you secure jobs, pursue higher studies, or obtain professional licenses.
• For Professional & Vocational Recognition:
  Specialized assessments are available for skilled trades and professional qualifications, empowering individuals to achieve certification or licensure in Canada.

Bonus: ICAS evaluation reports remain valid for five years, offering flexibility for multiple immigration and career pathways.
