Is there any place I can go to compare my university degrees I have to what they would compare to in Canada? I have a masters and a bachelor's degree but am curious if they are recognized here in Canada?

I doubt there's a single organization that would dictate what degrees/universities are or are not recognized. This is very much dependent on context. CIC would have a different standard from Ministry of Education in Alberta or Department of Education in AB. Carleton University might recognize a certain post-secondary degree or institution while Waterloo might not.

With that being said, there are quasi-governmental organizations that do this type of work. CICIC is one:

I did it by IQAS, I had to send all the original certificate to them, after 3 month they send me all the original certificate and IQAS assessment which is comparing my home country education with Canadian education. here is the IQAS link.
