>>Dear netters,
>>I am using one of my friends account to post this news. I, "S.A.
>>Vaziri", am a graduate of Bangalore University (B.E,Civil 84),
>>IIT-Delhi (M. Tech, Structure 87) and have been residing in Montreal,
>>Canada since 1988.
>>
>>Although my degree certificates are recognized by all Quebec
>>(a province of Canada where I stay) universities, the Quebec Ministry
>>of education has recognized my BE as well as M Tech as equivalent to
>>2 (two) years of BE level in Quebec ie. as far as the Quebec government
>>is concerned, I will be considered as engineer, if I take two more
>>years of engineering study in Quebec (or Canada).
>>
>>Since then, I have been fighting against this decision. The association
>>of professional engineers here which is called "Ordre des Ingenieurs
>>du Quebec" has not recognized my degree certificates either,instead, it
>>has prescribed for me many examinations (all of which I have already
>>done in my BE and MTech), in order to be eligible for its membership.
>>That is why I could not practice my profession, and I had no choice
>>but to pursue my studies here(that is what I am doing now in PhD level
>>at McGill University).
>>
>>The matter has been brought to the attention of Indian High commission
>>in Ottawa, Canada, but has so far yielded no results.
>>
>>I, hereby, extend my hands towards all of you in helping me to cope with
>>this national disgrace by asking the reasons for not recognising the
>>degree certificates issued by indian universities, in your letters to
>>the Quebec minister of education, as well as to the Quebec order of
>>engineers, at the following addresses:
>>
>>Mrs. Lucienne Robillard, Quebec Minister of Education
>>1033 de la Chevrotiere, 15th floor
>>Quebec City, Canada, G1R 5A5.
>>     and
>>Ordre des Ingenieurs du Quebec,
>>2020 University Street, 14th floor
>>Montreal, Canada, H3A 2A5.
>>
>>Please note that my file number in the ministry of cultural communities
>>and immigration (whose division of equivalence is acting on behalf of
>>Quebec ministry of education in issuing the certificate of equivalence
>>for the degree certificates of the foreign educated immigrants to
>>Quebec) is 713 450, in the ordre des ingenieurs du Quebec" is 103456,
>>and in India High Commission (educational Wing), Ottawa, is
>>OTT/EDU/327/8/92.
>>
>>Please be advised that, the quality of education in India, if not
>>better, is certainly as good as that in Canada. Please let me know
>>if you decided to write to those organizations at the following e-mail
>>or my residence address:

>>e-mail address: VAZIRISA@CIVIL.LAN.MCGILL.CA
