The client received Level 2 in Saskatchewan, obtained on the first attempt, and the write-up noted that a further conversion to a British Columbia certificate is available if wanted. It mentioned concern at the time that levels were being assessed lower than before.
The write-up stated that converting directly in British Columbia or Alberta takes six months or more and in some cases over a year, that Saskatchewan is generally the easier route, and that an applicant who obtains the Saskatchewan certificate then exchanges it for a certificate within Canada.
It explained that holding a childcare qualification alone does not establish eligibility: the transcripts from the applicant's studies determine whether the application can be made as an assistant, an educator, or a special-needs educator, and that the required documents differ by province.
The write-up cautioned that applicants often attempt the conversion themselves without first checking what level their record supports, and advised against entrusting the file to an unregistered individual operator.
