Yes you are right. It is nothing more than a word search. So basically eventually international schools can figure out what exactly NNAS is looking for and ensure those words are in the syllabi and course/program descriptions, and those applicants will be deemed "comparable". It's not a real assessment of whether or not someone has the equivalent knowledge and skill that a Canadian grad has. They have also altered it obviously, because before, nobody was getting "comparable", and now some US grads are. When I applied to NNAS no US grads were getting "comparable". I think though that we can generally assume that certain countries will not be comparable, based on the results overall...almost everyone is "non comparable".
