Obtaining a Comparative Evaluation for Studies Done Outside Québec

The Évaluation comparative des études effectuées hors du Québec (Comparative evaluation for studies done outside Québec) is a document that indicates a correspondence to the Québec educational system (PDF, 99 Kb) and its main diplomas (or benchmarks) for studies completed outside Québec.

The Évaluation comparative is therefore a general comparison between two official educational systems. For more information, see the Guides de comparaison des études.

The results of the comparative evaluation of diplomas from some school systems are available in the Comparative Tables of Diplomas in the Guide des procédures d'immigration (Guide to Immigration Procedures). These Tables can be accessed in Appendix 4 of the chapter Le programme régulier de sélection des candidats travailleurs qualifiés (PDF, 329 Kb).
