| Designation as cCT gained the approval of the Canadian Society
for Chemical Technology (CSCT) membership with the ratification of its new
bylaws in 1987.
PLEASE NOTE:
The assessment of the education of applicants who have
studied in countries other than Canada, where there is presently no
reciprocity agreement with Canada, is a challenge. Documents are assessed to
ensure that the individual has taken all the courses (or their equivalents)
required to be a technologist–whether graduating in Canada or another
country. It is therefore required that those
applicants with foreign degrees provide a course by course evaluation of
their credentials, rather than the shorter general evaluation.
Evaluation forms and further information on assessments can be obtained
through services such as the International Credential Assessment Service (www.icascanada.ca)
or World Education Services (www.wes.org).
There is an administration fee of $25 plus GST
($26.75) or HST ($28.75) for the assessment of the cCT application form.
This fee is non-refundable
