Anyone has experience in upgrading the ECA to course-by-course evaluation? Need this to apply school but cannot find a way to do so.
Thanks!

Should I send my transcripts and diplomas again, and same goes for the certificates form my university, or they have them from my previous evaluation?

No you donot need to send documents again. They have kept documents. You just upgrade paying fees online. I got result within two weeks.

@viegasdaj Am surprised then that I am being asked to submit new documents to upgrade from ECA to Course by Course.

Did your Status show "Waiting for required documents" at any point during your upgrade application? that is what is on my status for the past 2 days that i have paid.

Worst of all efforts to contact WES for clarification has been unsuccessful as they have not responded to my inquiry as ever.

Hi Adexxy,

Any Update on your WES application ?

I am also gonna apply for WES Upgrade (to Course-By-Course Type ECA) but unaware as to whether my earlier ECA Doc-By-Doc was a basic one or ICAP one.

In ICAP type application, they store our transcripts and one need not send them again for upgrade etc.

Can some also suggest whther Can we use Course-By-Course type ECA report for CIC/Immigration purpose (other than its main academic purpose)?

@Kadian, they did the upgrade without submitting any additional document.
Thank you for your reply, I am having the same doubt since I am upgrading from ECA to Course-by-course for APEGA purposes. The fact is that it appears a message apparently requiring all the documents again, this can be confusing, but I will wait couple days as you did.

Hi,

I received my ECA Report during immigration to Canada, with a particular Reference Number (X). Now I wanted to get it upgraded to Course-by-Course hence logged into my existing account assuming there would be no need of new transcripts/certificates since they mention that all the previous records are electronically stored.
I ended up paying $200 since they considered my Masters & Bachelors Science degree from India, separately. Post-payment new reference number (Y) is generated and they re-directed me to a page asking to submit my degree certificates.
I am totally confused now. It is impossible for me to go back and arrange for the transcripts in any way.
Can anyone suggest if they also have faced the same thing?

I got my ECA REPORT from WES stating Canadian Equivalency Summary as Bachelors Degree (4 year). However, in the body of the REPORT, the have evaluated my qualifications as follows:
1. BACHELORS DEGREE HONS MATHEMATICS as Bachelor DEGREE (4 Years)
2. PGDBM as Completion of 2nd UG major

I had selected TWO OR MORE DEGREES option in EE profile. Was very worried that OINP won't considerr as TWO bcos of the WES Summary.
But, I have got OINP NOM so that means they consider my qualifications as TWO.

NOw, I have got an ITA and at final stages of document upload. Now am getting the jitters again...what if IRCC/CIC looks only at the WES SUMMAR? My score will drop....

So I mailed WES requesting to update the SUMMARY showing both qualification assessment. They replied that I should UPGRADE MY. REPRT

what option should I choose? I can't wait 3 months...I have already given my Medical,for PCC and POF documents etc ready now....

Can I go ahead and submit, and let WES UPGRADE happen in parallel?
