While the degree is generally acknowledged as equivalent to similar undergraduate pharmacy degrees, graduates must fulfill Canadian certification requirements to work as licensed pharmacists. This typically involves passing exams such as the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) exams and meeting the provincial licensing requirements of the specific Canadian province where one intends to practice.</p><p>Moreover, graduates of LPU's B.Pharm programme may need to go through a credential evaluation process by the PEBC, which assesses the academic qualifications of internationally trained pharmacists. Depending on the outcome, they may also be required to complete additional coursework or internships in Canada. While the degree itself is respected, the ability to practice as a pharmacist will depend on fulfilling these professional certification standards.</p></div></div></div></div>
