Canadian with a foreign diploma question in Canada

Hello,

I am a dual citizen French and Canadian individual that lives in Canada (BC) but that has a 2 year diploma in International trade from France . The diploma itself has been recognized by WES but it does not give details on my courses.

Excuse the stupid question, I simply do not know how it works in North America and it’s a different process in France, where we do not look at individual courses and credits but just at the end result ( aka “ do you have a diploma/bachelors/masters or not)

I wanted to go back to school for a bachelors degree in Canada but I’m not sure of the process.

Can you please enlighten me? I’m wondering if I can straight enter in 3rd year of a bachelor (since bachelors seems to be 4 years here? They are 3 in France), if just showing my WES results as well as my CELPIP English results is enough or if I need to do something else? Are diplomas seen as “less” than normal first two years of a bachelors education?

Thank you for your help and sorry for the seemingly ignorant questions!
