Ha ha! Saw the California one, and thought we should have one for Canada.

Is there an online catch-all site like the ones for the States? I don't think so, but I don't know. My school seems happy with an alumni print-out and sealed transcripts, but who knows what will be enough.

I make sure to ask about Shin Jung-Ah when they ask about me.

Hopefully they catch a lot of fakes and then demand for teachers will go up, and then pay, but I doubt it.

The association of universities and colleges in canada website is located at:
http://www.aucc.ca/

and the list of member universities is at:
http://www.aucc.ca/can_uni/our_universities/index_e.html

But you can expect most of the brain dead superiors in the Korean Public school system to discount it because is is not an American website and the accreditation system for Canadian universities and degree granting institutions is a government matter and not a commercial enterprise.

They are making it up as they go along and they have no clue what they are doing.

Abject stupidity at its finest.

PS....
I was just asked why there were no US universities on the website and it was suggested that because there are no US universities on it that it must not be accurate.

Yup... they are going to start listing US schools on the association of CANADIAN universities... DUH...

Please let me repeat again for clarity.... Abject stupidity at its finest.
