Assessment for College Applications

ICAS is an approved provider of credential assessment services for individuals applying to colleges in Ontario.

If you are applying to a college in Ontario through ontariocolleges.ca (also known as Ontario College Application Service or OCAS), the college may require an assessment of your international education documents as part of your application for admission.

ICAS can send your completed Assessment Report electronically to ontariocolleges.ca. This eliminates the need for you to send your report to each individual college.

Before applying for an Assessment Report, please confirm the type of report the college requires. The type of report required depends on the admission requirements for each individual program.

News & Updates

Mail Strike

The Canada Post mail strike has now ended. Delivery of items held oversees and those held in Canada will take some time. The on-line file status system is automatically updated as soon as documents are received in our office and processed by our mail room. Please note that it can take 2-3 business days from the date on which a package has arrived in our office until it is processed by our mail room.

Processing Time

Processing time begins when all required documents have been received in our office. Currently, our estimated processing time is approximately 6-8 weeks for General Assessment Reports and 6-8 weeks for Secondary School Comprehensive Assessment Reports. The processing time for Postsecondary Comprehensive Assessment Reports is approximately 25 weeks. Please note that this does not apply to assessments for immigration (For information about Canadian Immigration Assessment Reports, please click here). Processing times are an estimate only and rush services are not available.
