GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. The secretary of the Ordre des conseillers en ressources humaines et en relations industrielles agréés du Québec shall forward a copy of this Regulation to a candidate who, for the purpose of obtaining a permit from the order, applies for an equivalence of a diploma issued by an educational establishment situated outside Québec, or requests a training equivalence.

O.C. 910-2004, s. 1.

2. In this Regulation, the following terms mean:

1° “diploma giving access to a permit” means a diploma recognized as giving access to the permit issued by the order by regulation of the Government made under the first paragraph of section 184 of the Professional Code (chapter C-26);

2° “diploma equivalence” means the acknowledgement by the Order that a diploma issued by an educational institution outside Québec certifies that its holder has acquired a level of knowledge and skills equivalent to the level attained by the holder of a diploma recognized, by regulation of the government enacted pursuant to the first paragraph of section 184 of this Code, as giving access to the permit issued by the Order;

3° “training equivalence” means the acknowledgement by the Order that a candidate’s training demonstrates that the latter has attained a level of knowledge and skills equivalent to the level attained by the holder of a diploma, recognized by regulation of the government enacted in accordance with the first paragraph section 184 of this Code, as giving access to the permit issued by the Order.

O.C. 910-2004, s. 2; O.C. 393-2009, s. 1.

DIVISION II

STANDARDS FOR A DIPLOMA EQUIVALENCE

3. A candidate holding a diploma issued by an educational establishment outside Québec shall be granted a diploma equivalence if the diploma was issued upon completion of an undergraduate program comprising at least 90 credits. Each credit must correspond to 45 hours of in-class attendance and individual work. At least 84 out of the 90 credits shall be in the subjects described in paragraphs 1 to 6, and 60 of the credits shall be apportioned in accordance with the minimum requirements provided therein:

1° A minimum of 12 credits in labour relations;

2° A minimum of 12 credits in human resources management;

3° A minimum of 9 credits in Québec public policies and labour laws;

4° A minimum of 12 credits in financial and organizational management;

5° A minimum of 9 credits in information systems, scientific and statistical methods, workplace health and safety, industrial, social and organizational psychology, organizational behaviour, and political sociology;

6° A minimum of 6 credits in economics and the workplace, planning and management, marketing, business ownership, business management, ethics, technology and industrial relations, multi-ethnic relations, organizational communications and international industrial relations.

O.C. 910-2004, s. 3.

4. Notwithstanding section 3, where the diploma in respect of which an equivalence application had been filed was issued 3 or more years prior to the application and the knowledge which it evidences no longer corresponds, in light of the development of the profession, to the knowledge which, at the time of the application, is taught as part of a curriculum leading to the issue of a diploma recognized as giving access to the permit issued by the Order, the candidate shall be credited a trading equivalence in accordance with section 5 if he or she has, since the issue of his or her diploma, acquired the required level of knowledge and skills.

O.C. 910-2004, s. 4; O.C. 393-2009, s. 2.

DIVISION III

STANDARDS FOR TRAINING EQUIVALENCE

5. A candidate shall be granted a training equivalence if he demonstrates that the level of knowledge and skills he acquired is equivalent to the level acquired upon completion of a diploma giving access to a permit.

O.C. 910-2004, s. 5.

6. To determine whether a candidate has attained the level of training required in section 5, the Order shall take all the following factors into account:

1° the fact that the candidate holds 1 or more diplomas issued in Québec or elsewhere;

2° the courses taken, the number of credits earned and the grades obtained;

3° training periods and other learning activities or refresher courses;

4° the total number of years of education;

5° relevant work experience.

Where the evaluation carried out in accordance with the preceding paragraph does not lead to a decision, the candidate may be interviewed or invited to take an examination prescribed by the Order, or both, in order to complete the evaluation.

O.C. 910-2004, s. 6; O.C. 393-2009, s. 3.

7. Notwithstanding section 5, where the training in respect of which an equivalence application has been filed was completed 3 or more years prior to the application, a candidate, to be granted a training equivalence, must demonstrate at the time of the application that he has acquired, in the interim since the application, the level of skills and knowledge equivalent to the level attained by a holder of a diploma giving access to a permit.

O.C. 910-2004, s. 7.
