WHAT WE DO Complimentary assessment in your language
Accompaniment from your home country to Canada
The best of educational institutions
Personalized plans and agendas
WHO WE AREThere are certain differences between Canada’s educational system at the professional level with the system of the majority of Latin American countries. The credentialing system, the shorter semesters, the possibility to transfer and validate subjects, etc. are different from other foreign university systems. The existence of the “Figura” of college isn’t common in other countries.
In the case of high school, there are also certain differences and peculiarities to understand in order to have a more fluid experience and so that the student doesn´t encounter problems when they return to their home country and continue with their studies.
We will help with the notarization and validation process of any certificates and diplomas in each case if the given school does not include this service.
