High school diploma
Hi, I have been living here for three years now and have decided on a career move to the police force. They require that I have a grade 12 diploma, given that I never went to school in Canada, I don't have one. Has any one here been in the same situation, if so, how did you get around it? I'm dreading the thought of having to take a GED test.....

This is what I had to do way back in 1971 but I'm not sure if it still applies.

Re: High school diploma
Hi - which force are you thinking of applying to? Most are probably used to the odd UK applicant. Do you have details of your UK schooling, ie, O levels (if you are that old!), A levels, GCSE's etc. Or even any other work related apprenticeship or additional education/courses ?
Any of the above would suffice, I suspect, if you have been out of school for a few years now.
And, looking back at some of your other posts, may I refer you to some advice you gave out in Feb 2005 - "Debt" - "run to Canada dude, you will probably get away with it". !!!
Think carefully ref the requirement to take the polygraph !!

Your pet budgie could pass the GED. Don't sweat it.

I know there is a place in Edmonton and one in Toronto..... where you send in copys of all school exams obtained in the UK and within a few weeks it comes back with what level you have achieved in Canada.
I had to do this to become a realtor and I am sure it only cost a $100 or something similar.
