Is it recognized?3
Côte d’Ivoire – Was IFPG-ISFPT Recognized prior to 2009? 4
The Doctor’s Opinion – Côte d’Ivoire (Groupe IFPG-ISFPT)
• The diploma confirms the institution was authorized by the Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur via Ordinance 338/MES/DESTP/S-DAH, dated 8 December 2003.
• Therefore, I would consider that its credentials as of that date are recognized.
5
DR Congo – Is Université Franco-Américaine recognized?6
The Doctor’s Opinion – DR Congo (Université Franco-Américaine)
• Not listed on the Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur et Universitairewebsite• Currently MINESU only lists public universities• The private HEIs page is under construction
• Without proof of MINESU recognition, this is not considered recognized.

Credential Questions16
India – MS in Ayurveda Shalya Samanya17
The Doctor’s Opinion: India (MS in Ayurveda Shalya Samanya)
• Entrance requirement is the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), which is a 5.5-year degree (including 1-year internship)
• Graduate-level study• Master of Science degree in Homeopathic/Ayurvedic Medicine
18
Australia – Bachelor of Health Sciences/Master of Physiotherapy Practice
19
The Doctor’s Opinion – Australia (BHS/MPP)
• Bachelor’s degree (4 years) in physiotherapy provided credential is verified authentic
• Year of admission and dates on transcript do not line up.• Program is entry-to-practice, so would likely meet CAPR requirements• Not comfortable equating to a bachelor’s and a master’s degree
20
India – Master in Sports Physiotherapy21
The Doctor’s Opinion – India (MS in Sport Physiotherapy)
• Master’s degree (2 years) in Sports Physiotherapy• Substantially different to a Canadian entry-to-practice physiotherapy
program, so this did not meet CAPR requirements• CAPR typically accepts Bachelor of Physiotherapy credentials from
India. However, this is a specialized program that would not properly prepare someone for entry-to-practice.
22
Afghanistan – Bachelor of Law23
Afghanistan – Bachelor of Law24
The Doctor’s Opinion – Afghanistan (Bachelor of Law)
• Afghanistan:2020- On the MoHE’s listLack of QA for private HEIsno clear information about accreditation
• US:2014- IACBE programmatic accreditation, but affiliated to Preston University
Ø Refusal: Substantial difference in quality, ties to a diploma mill; ENIC Sweden only recognizes regional institutional accreditation

Tunisia – Diplôme National de Mastère Professionnel26
Tunisia – Diplôme National de Mastère Professionnel27
The Doctor’s Opinion – Tunisia Mastère professionnel
• Issued after the LMD reform (3+2+3 system)• 2 types of Master: “Research Master” and “Professional Master”• The Professional Master is awarded after two years of studies • Professional Master does not give access to further studies
Ø Recognized as 2 years of studies on Master’s level (not as a completed Swedish Master). The level and the learning outcomes are different from a Swedish Master. Swedish Master gives access to PhD.
28
Peru – Educación Secundaria de Menores29
The Doctor’s Opinion - Peru (Educación Secundaria de Menores)
• This is fraudulent. • The template date (listed on the left-side; see the white box for the
enlarged type) is 2003, so the issue date cannot be January 1988.
30
Russia – Attestat o Srednem (Polnom) Obschem Obrazovanii31
The Doctor’s Opinion - Russia (Attestat)
• This is fraudulent. • The date of completion says 1992. However, the printer notification
(bottom right of the second image) shows this is a 1994 version. • See the PDF handout for more information on other red flags.
