It's not only for the further education purpose, but also for getting a job. If i want to get a job, my degree from India will not be considered equal to Canadian degree. so, what I need to do is to ask for it's equivalent. what I mean by equivalent is that, my degree will be evaluated based on the Canadian higher education requirements. if i have the same credit as people get in Canada, then my degree will be recognized, otherwise they won't give the equal value.
