Kwantlen Polytechnic University has signed a Letter of Understanding with Progressive Intercultural Community Services (PICS) to help internationally trained professionals transition into work and education. PICS Director of Career Services Raj Brar explained that foreign credentials may not be recognized in Canada and for those who “decide to go back to university, it can be very difficult to know where to start.” Through the partnership, PICS will refer newcomers to relevant programming at KPU, where they may also be eligible for KPU’s Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition option. KPU and PICS also plan to collaborate on EDI initiatives during the partnership and will open an art exhibition exploring the topic in Spring 2026.
