The Corporation of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CCMEC) requires the services of a selected interested party (the Proponent) to draft a progress report on the implementation in Canada of conventions related to qualification recognition.
In summer 2026, it is expected that UNESCO will officially request and collect information from all State Parties to monitor the implementation of the 2019 Global Convention and 1997 Lisbon Convention through a joint consultation process. In turn, it is expected that UNESCO will publish a monitoring report in spring 2027.
Consequently, the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC) is preparing for this next monitoring exercise and thus requires the services of a selected Proponent to draft a progress report on the implementation in Canada of conventions related to qualification recognition.
The resulting progress report on the implementation in Canada of conventions related to qualification recognition would be used to prepare for and inform Canada’s official response to the UNESCO request in summer 2026, with relevant, credible, and evidence-based information from Canada to support key arguments and findings.
