  6. Bridging Programs Many universities in Ontario offer bridging programs for internationally educated professionals. For example at Ryerson there are 6 bridging programs. PARTNERS

  7. Language & Soft Skills Universities require English proficiency tests such as: • Graduate School: TOEFL, IELTS, MILAB • Bridging Programs: CBLT 7/8, WCC • Undergraduate: University Test of English Proficiency (i.e. RTEP)

  8. Fast Tracking: Transfer Credits Most Universities offer transfer of credits • For example at Ryerson: Where a candidate has completed appropriate graduate courses at an acceptable level from another academic institution, but has not been granted a degree using those courses, they may be considered in partial fulfillment of Ryerson's graduate degree requirements. • Responsibility for assessing the appropriateness of such courses shall rest with the Director of the Program. • Credit for such work shall not exceed fifty percent of the Program's course requirements.

  9. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) • Universities use PLAR processes and procedures in their programming to identify and document candidates’ credentials, knowledge, and capabilities. • However, often completing the PLAR process at a University does not guarantee admission to any educational program. • Candidates who identify and document their prior learning and competency are in a better position to demonstrate their equivalency in relation to academic admission requirements. • Ryerson: Nursing, Accounting, Financial Services, Social Work for more info • https://plar.de.ryerson.ca/

  10. Admissions-Advising Typically universities offer advising services for: • Undergraduate Admissions • Continuing Education Admissions • Graduate Admissions

  11. Conclusion Internationally educated professionals (IEPs) face many barriers to labour market integration PSE is an excellent alternative in helping IEPs overcome those integration barriers.
