About this event

  • 1 hour

Join us for an online Q&A information session on Monday, May 27, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. to learn about the WES Gateway Program, and find out how you can apply for their credential evaluation report to pursue your academic and professional goals!


Our guest speaker, WES Gateway Program, assesses the educational credentials of individuals who have been displaced as a result of adverse circumstances in their country and have limited proof of academic achievements.


A WES Gateway Program credential evaluation report can help eligible individuals continue their education, become licensed in their field, or take the next step on their career pathway in Canada. The report can be accepted by higher education institutions, regulatory bodies, and employers.


WES works with designated partners to identify individuals who are eligible for the Gateway Program. The program is available to individuals educated in Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Syria, Türkiye, Ukraine, and Venezuela, who meet program requirements.
