Eugene, some many years ago, a friend’s friend from Egypt arrived in Canada.
He graduated from University in Cairo & York U recognized his M.A. as high school.
I asked him to get the transcripts of each course he took, & curriculum details in the prospectus (where available) of each course, which is a paragraph each.
I then told him to check York University’s prospectus of their M.A. courses, & match them with the courses he took. We did it together.
York University subsequently recognized 2 years of the courses.
He was asked to take 1 yr of final year courses for M.A. (the non-thesis program) & he was admitted into the doctoral program. (This has been routine, anyway, as a university’s policy for out-of-country programs).
He was very very relieved, he saved a lot of time, married guy with kids.
ADVICE:
List the courses u took, correlate with present courses at York U, & ask to be given credit for those that are similar.
U may not get all u ask for, but u may get many courses recognized.
The Association of Colleges & Universities of Canada arbitrarily gives limited credit, & do not investigate each Third world university program & assess each:
I was informed that they do not have the resources, but yet they do make an arbitrary evaluation of an individual’s accreditation.
On the American side, several Indian university degrees r evaluated as equal to the American degrees.
The University of East Africa (in Nairobi, Kenya) is fully accredited in the U.S. & in the U.K..
The Tata Institute programs are not only listed as equal in the U.S., but there r joint programs with leading Ivy League American programs.
Only problem, is the high fees going to an American university, but u may wish to explore that option, & how these programs r evaluated in Canada when applying for jobs in Canada.
I hope this is useful, & also for others.
With no personal interest,
I appealed those decisions in Canada, to date to no avail, but there have been exceptions made on an individual basis.
Best of luck with your educational priorities.

Dear All,
I am thinking of pursuing Ph.D at York University, Toronto, which now accepts seniors. I was denied to do earlier as the university doesn't give equivalence to MA secured in India. They gave me BA.
I have to do a proposal, and I wanted a guide. I contacted Prof. Arthur Rubinoff, as I know him well, but he suffered heart complications. I was told he's recuperating at home. I sent him email asking if he knows any professors at York who could be my guide. He said he can't think of anyone.
Anyway, I will submit my proposal and, hopefully, the university will seek a guide.
In this respect, I would like to request members here if they want to provide some clues/ideas/suggestions on what points need to be tackled in the light of the Liberation/Annexation debate that sparked just after India took over Goa.
I would like to know if the debat holds true in political discourse in Goa today.
Sincerely,
Eugene Correia
