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.
