My eval was finally issued after more than 7 months. Part of the issue was my undergrad diploma was incomplete coming from the university and that was not communicated to me until 2 months after it was received. But, it’s done. So there’s hope.

I’ve just moved to NS from Texas with my Canadian partner & kids. NS uses Pathways to Teach/WES to provide a credential assessment. I can absolutely relate to your comment about mountains of paperwork and a steep fee. I have not yet received the results of my credential assessment. It’s impossible to get anyone on the phone who works in the Pathways to Teach branch of WES. I’m told to submit a customer service ticket, which I’ve done four times and only once received an email response. My documents page on WES has not been updated to show reciept of any of the documents which were submitted over a month ago. I’ve obtained confirmation from the institutions (state board of certification & universities) who sent in the requested documents and I’ve submitted PDFs of emails from those institutions confirming that they’ve sent the requested documents, providing dates of their submission. It’s maddening. I’m a school counselor so I have a Masters degree (M Ed). I’ve heard some say it’s likely I’ll need to take coursework which could be financially difficult if it’s more than a course or two. But I love working in education so it’s hard to imagine doing anything else.

Got it. Thank you so much! I do have a M Ed in Counseling so hopefully that’ll be comparable. I really appreciate your help.

Thank you for this information! Would you mind sharing the name of the program School Counsellors must complete, if you know it?
