Hi. Thanks for your reply. If my wife is a pharmacist graduate from the UK and I would like to claim entry-to-practice professional degree, I need to send to WES as well? Or another institution for pharmacist in Canada???

Those who wants to apply in NOC 3131...is degree assessment by Pharmacy Exam Board in Canada mustttttt. I wish to work in Pharma industry in Canada. Is there anyway to avoid that? It is really expensive and time consuming.

Pharmacy falls under one of the areas needing special license so there is no way of getting around it. I am a teacher from the UK and I had to get teaching licenses from Canada - very long and expensive process indeed.

It's just one of those things that are unavoidable fro certain professions and I am sure we can all appreciate why.
