CES will support the project by assessing candidates' academic credentials.
The University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Comparative Education Service (CES) has been designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to conduct educational credential assessments for the federal Agri-food Immigration pilot program, launching this March.
The Agri-Food Immigration Pilot is a new federal immigration program designed to help address the labour needs of the Canadian agri-food sector while providing eligible temporary foreign agriculture and agri-food industry workers with a pathway to Canadian permanent residence.
CES will support the pilot project by assessing academic credentials that range from High School diplomas to postsecondary diplomas and degrees and conducts a review of their recognition and comparability to ensure that candidates for the program have achieved the foreign equivalent of a high school level education or greater.
CES will begin accepting applications for this new stream as of March 1st, 2020.
