The numerous discrepancies led the committee to question the credentials presented.”<ref name="cohn">{{cite news |last1=Regg Cohn |first1=Martin |title=The Canada Christian College, in Whitby, Ont., is at the centre of a growing political scandal over its efforts to receive university accreditation from the province.

In 2018, the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board expressed its “doubts that degrees from Canada Christian College meet the standards and rigour normally expected of degree programs in Canada”.<ref name="cohn"/>

In response to the Toronto Star opinion article citing these allegations, the college released a statement stating that “Canada Christian College offers a robust and excellent Christian Counselling degree program at the undergraduate and graduate level. CCC does not directly teach registered psychotherapy as a program. Some graduates do choose to professionally go down that path and many have been accepted and registered by the CRPO, some have been rejected.”<ref name="cohn" />
