WES Gateway Program

The WES Gateway Program seeks to further the academic and career goals of qualified individuals who, because of adverse circumstances in their country of education, lack standard proof of academic achievement.

WES works with community and institutional partners to serve eligible clients. Seneca is a referral partner of this program and is able to support you in your application for credential evaluation.

Through the Gateway Program, WES can reliably validate and assess the education of individuals displaced by political unrest, conflict and natural disasters even when verifiable documents are not available  The WES Gateway Program provides eligible participants with a high-quality credential evaluation report that can be accepted and recognized by employers, higher education institutions and regulatory bodies in Canada.

A credential evaluation report describes each credential you have earned using standard Canadian education terminology. The report will provide an equivalency statement comparing the credential you earned to a similar credential in Canada.

The program is currently available to individuals who:

• have an active application with Seneca and hold an application number
• possess at least one piece of credible evidence issued by their academic institution
• were educated in Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Ukraine or Venezuela

To apply for the WES Gateway Program, you must meet and be referred to the program by an institution-appointed International Admissions or Recruitment Adviser. To schedule an appointment contact theservicehub@senecapolytechnic.ca with your full name and application number.
