CICIC Credential Assessment: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how internationally trained acupuncturists can verify their foreign education to meet provincial regulatory requirements in Canada.
This service helps verify your international education so you can prove your qualifications to professional regulators in Canada.
Who it's for
This is specifically for acupuncturists who were trained outside of Canada and need to have their foreign credentials verified.
What you get
You receive an official recognition of your foreign training. This assessment is used to show provincial regulatory bodies that your international education meets the necessary standards for practice.
What it costs you
There are fees associated with this process, and the exact amount depends on the specific assessment agency used. You should expect to pay several hundred dollars.
The catch to know
Completing this assessment does not give you a license to practice. It is only an evaluation of your education; you must still complete the full provincial registration process to work as an acupuncturist.
