Credential Assessment & Settlement Services
Moving to Canada as a skilled professional or student requires proper recognition of your education and work experience. Additionally, settling in a new country comes with various challenges, such as finding employment, adapting to a new culture, and securing essential services. At Time to Fly Immigration, we provide credential assessment services and settlement assistance to help newcomers integrate successfully into Canadian society.
Educational Credential Assessment (WES, ICAS, CES)
To apply for Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), or study permits, foreign applicants must have their educational qualifications assessed by a designated Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) body. The most common ECA organizations include:
-
World Education Services (WES)
-
International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS)
-
Comparative Education Service (CES)
-
International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS)
-
Medical Council of Canada (MCC) – for doctors

We assist applicants in selecting the right organization, preparing documents, and submitting ECA applications to ensure a smooth process.
