At FACTS Transcripts, we assist thousands of students and professionals every year with international document verification for immigration, licensing, and higher education. One recent case brings attention to a critical issue—what happens when your credential evaluation is rejected?

Understanding the PEBC Rejection

In a recent evaluation outcome from the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC), a candidate's 2-year Diploma in Pharmacy from the Directorate of Medical Education, Chennai was deemed not eligible for evaluation.

The PEBC stated:

"We have reviewed your file. Unfortunately, a two (2) year Diploma of Pharmacy degree from Directorate of Medical Education, Chennai, does not meet our minimum Document Evaluation requirement. I regret to inform you that it was unsuccessful."

Why Was It Rejected?

PEBC requires that candidates hold a minimum of a 4-year Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy that includes comprehensive coursework, clinical experience, and recognized accreditation. A 2-year diploma, regardless of content, usually does not meet Canadian standards for professional licensing.

What Are Your Options?

• Understand the gaps: Was it duration, course content, or lack of accreditation?
• Explore bridge programs: Canadian institutions may offer pathways for foreign diploma holders.
• Consider WES or other credential evaluators: If your goal is immigration, services like WES, ICES, or IQAS might still evaluate your diploma.
• Talk to experts: FACTS Transcripts can help you gather additional documents such as MOI, course descriptions, and attestations.
