In the cookie-cutter world of Canadian post-secondary education, in addition to no overall system objectives or coordination, there is also no national system of program/course credit articulation and transfer. Thus, under the current "model" students will often end up with problems like this one.
For its part, the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC), made up of provincial ministers holding the cards on credit-transfer, has made a semi-feeble commitment to enhancing credit transfer across Canada in the form of its 2009 CMEC Ministerial Statement on Credit Transfer in Canada. Yesterday, CMEC released an update on provincial and territorial progress in this area. Download the Report of the CMEC Working Group on Credit Transfer, 2010 here in .pdf format.
