Credential Assessment
College policy requires all applicants who obtained their occupational therapy degree/diploma outside of Canada to have their academic qualifications assessed by an external credential agency. A basic assessment report is required as part of the application process. The College utilizes the services of World Education Services (WES). Please visit the World Education Services (WES) to obtain an application form for a document-by-document credential assessment.
Language Requirement
Evidence of fluency may be obtained by completing a College approved language test. Applicants are required to achieve an acceptable score (PDF: 17kb) on both written and oral language tests. The College accepts score reports from Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), TSE, MELAB and International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Proof of language fluency is required if applicant's first language is not English or French, or if the language of OT instruction was not English or French.
