Path to Designation – International Degrees

Individuals holding international university degrees who are interested in pursuing the Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institution (AACI) must start the designation process by obtaining an Educational Credential Assessment from the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC), The International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS) or a Credential Evaluation from World Education Services (WES). Once equivalency has been verified, there are 3 possible pathways to follow, depending on the individual’s circumstances:

Acceptance Requirements: 

  • Designated Member in Good Standing
  • Recognized University degree

Additional Requirements:

  • BUSI 111 or 112 Canadian law
    course
  • AIC Introduction to Professional Practice Seminar
  • Join AIC as Candidate
  • Applied Experience Written Exam

Non Canadian degrees and other types of degrees are evaluated on a case by case basis. If education was completed at a non-English speaking institution, students will be required to demonstrate proficiency in either English or French. Applicants to the program must complete the application form and submit their required documentation and applicable fees for UBC admission and transcript review. If you have any questions about your course equivalency, or to request a transcript review, please contact Yvonne Chuen or call (604) 822-8457.
