The Superintendent of International Credential Recognition promotes fair, efficient, and transparent assessment processes for international credentials.

  • The Superintendent reviews systemic or general issues about the assessment process for international credentials that affect many people
  • The Superintendent does not address individual issues or licensing decisions

However, you can still share your personal experiences to help us understand broader issues with the international credential recognition process.

To share a concern with the Superintendent, e-mail the Office for International Credential Recognition at faircredentials@gov.bc.ca
