Healthcare is a profession of global importance, and doctors, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and other healthcare professionals are in high demand across countries like Canada and the United States. However, before practicing, studying further, or immigrating, international healthcare professionals must ensure their qualifications are recognized. A World Education Services (WES) evaluation plays a key role in this process.
Why Healthcare Professionals Need WES Evaluation

Immigration: Doctors and healthcare professionals applying for Canadian permanent residency through Express Entry require an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) from WES.
-
Licensing: Regulatory bodies often require a WES evaluation to confirm the authenticity and equivalence of foreign degrees.
-
Further Education: Many healthcare professionals pursue postgraduate degrees abroad, which usually require a course-by-course evaluation from WES.
-
Employment: Employers in healthcare systems use WES reports to assess whether foreign qualifications meet local standards.
