Canada

Canada’s constitution provides for a federal system in which legislative powers are allocated between the federal Parliament and the provincial legislatures.
In compliance with the exclusive legislative powers in the field of education granted to the provinces by the Canadian Constitution and with the similar responsibilities given to the territories by delegation from the federal government, the implementation of the Convention in Canada will be ensured by the provinces and territories.
In accordance with Article IX.2, provincial and territorial governments have jointly determined that the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC) will serve as the national information centre.
Each postsecondary institution in Canada determines what qualifications it will accept for admission to various levels of study. Legislation also confers some autonomy on professional governing bodies in setting the content of regulations under which credentials and training are recognized. Professions therefore enjoy broad autonomy in recognizing credentials, whether obtained in Canada or abroad, for the purposes of registration or permission to practise a profession in Canada.
This declaration is not a reservation.

Duitsland

21-03-2013

With reference to Articles II.2 and IX.2 of the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region, the Federal Republic of Germany makes the following declaration:
Within the federal system of the Federal Republic of Germany, various bodies are competent for matters of recognition:
- Assessment of foreign diplomas giving access to higher education
It is the higher education institutions that decide, in the context of the admission and/or enrolment procedures, as to the recognition of foreign qualifications held by German, foreign or stateless candidates permitting their entry to higher education. Recognition is limited to the specified course of study. The schemes of assessment published in the database www.anabin.de in the section "Hochschulzugang" (access to higher education) serve as a basis for the decision on recognition. Assessment of foreign qualifications may nonetheless be entrusted to central bodies for the recognition of certificates. The decisions of the bodies for the recognition of certificates, and of the higher education institutions, are acknowledged in all Länder.
- Recognition of unit credits obtained in studies and examinations
This task falls to the higher education institutions. The Framework Act for higher education and the laws of the Länder governing higher education only provide that in order to be validated, these unit credits obtained abroad must be equivalent. The framework regulations for examinations, and the examination regulations of the higher education institutions, contain more detailed information on the certification of equivalence.
In those streams leading to a "State examination" (Staatsexamen), transferable course units are validated by the Land examination services within the purview of the Länder.
In those streams leading to other public examinations/qualifications, transferable course units are also validated by services operating within the purview of the Länder.
In those streams leading to the "ecclesiastical examination" (Kirchliche Prüfung) diploma or to other ecclesiastical qualifications, transferable course units are validated by offices of the churches.
- Assessment of foreign qualifications
The Central Office for Education Abroad (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen - ZAB) has charge of assessing foreign qualifications on behalf of the German higher education authorities and institutions. The ZAB provides relevant information for assessment, particularly via the anabin database, and delivers opinions on individual cases.
- Assessments without a specific object under Article III.1 of the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region
The ZAB is responsible for carrying out Assessments termed "without a specific object" under Article III.1 of the Convention.
The ZAB fulfils the mission of national information centre under the terms of Article IX.2.
With reference to Article VI of the Convention, the Federal Republic of Germany makes the following declaration:
Having regard to the great differences that persist between national legislations, the Federal Republic of Germany points out that where higher education training syllabi and qualifications professions in the legal sphere are concerned, substantial differences within the meaning of Article VI.1 are to be expected as a rule, and that Article VI.3 a) only covers access to further studies in a higher education institution. The Federal Republic of Germany will therefore continue to make entry to a regulated profession in the legal sphere, and the practice of such a profession, subject to compliance with the provisions and procedures in force in its territory as well as with the other requirements laid down by the bodies competent for the practice of the profession concerned; this also applies to admission to the training course of such a regulated profession.
Outside the countries which are members of the European Union, parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or which are at all events bound by a convention with provisions relating to the recognition of European Union professional qualifications, the sphere of the medical professions is not harmonised. In the interest of public health, it is nevertheless expedient to stipulate a minimum standard of training corresponding to that of the European Union's sectoral directives on recognition. If it is found from a comparison of qualifications that this minimum standard is not reached, the Federal Republic of Germany points out that in such a case substantial differences within the meaning of Article VI.1 are to be expected, and that Article VI.3 a) only covers access to further studies in a higher education institution.
The Federal Republic of Germany will continue to make entry to a regulated profession in the legal sphere, and the practice of such a profession, subject to compliance with the provisions and procedures in force in its territory as well as with the other requirements laid down by the bodies competent for the practice of the profession concerned.
