In 2002, CMEC approved a strategy to improve credit transfer across Canada. Given the differences in credit transfer systems and postsecondary structures in the provinces and territories, the initial focus was on developing and enhancing the provincial and territorial transfer systems.
The Ministerial Statement on Credit Transfer in Canada was updated and approved by all ministers in the summer of 2009.
Provinces and territories report each year on the implementation of the statement's principles, their activities, framework for action, and priority action areas. The most recent is the Report of the CMEC Working Group on Credit Transfer 2009.
