Obtaining an Évaluation comparative des études effectuées hors du Québec
The Évaluation comparative des études effectuées hors du Québec (comparative evaluation for studies done outside Québec) is a document that provides a general comparison between studies done outside Québec and the Québec educational
system (PDF, 99 Kb) and its main diplomas (or educational benchmarks). This is neither a diploma nor the equivalent of a diploma. It is an expert opinion, issued for reference purposes only, and in no way does it bind employers, regulatory bodies or educational institutions who are free to evaluate your training according to their own methods and criteria.
Please consult the Tableaux comparatifs
des diplômes, available in Appendix 4 (table of contents of the chapter Programme régulier de sélection des candidats travailleurs
qualifiés) of the Guide
des procédures d'immigration (guide to immigration procedures) (PDF,
641 Kb) for more information on
the education systems of certain countries.

Check with the Commission de la construction du Québec to determine if an Évaluation comparative is required.
- Applying to a professional order
Verify if the order requires an Évaluation comparative; this could save you money and unnecessary proceedings.
