About the terminology guides

CICIC's English Terminology Guide for Academic Credential Assessment in Canada was developed as a pan-Canadian primary reference source for the field of academic credential assessment and recognition.

The Guide de terminologie française de l'évaluation des diplômes d'études au Canada is the French-language companion to the English Terminology Guide for Academic Credential Assessment in Canada.

The two guides each contain approximately 200 terms associated with the practice of academic credential assessment and recognition in Canada.
