Can I select Two or more certificates with WES evaluation as College-level cert

[rajkamalmohanram]

I finally received the Letter of interest from Ontario today.

Have been going through the Application guide and the only issue I see is the Birth Certificate. I do not have a Birth Certificate, and I used my Matriculation certificate as proof to obtain my passport. Will it be enough if I submit a copy of my Matriculation certificate along with a letter explaining that I do not have a Birth Certificate? I am currently residing in the USA, so getting an official letter from back home is going to be hard.

IMO, yes. You can do this. Get the letter notarized.

Would a notary notarize the letter that I have written? Wouldn't they too ask for some sort of proof that I do not possess a Birth Certificate?

Hi with the WES evaluation reading completion of a college level certificate (one semester). When I was filling out my EE profile the option to select Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees was not there, instead, the options are (One year program at University, College, trade or technical school or other institute. 2 two year program at a University, College, trade or technical school or other institute. 3 Bachelor's degree or a three-year program at a University, College, trade or technical school or other institute). Then the explanation from EE states that:


One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute


ECA assessment results:

• College Certificate
• Completion of College-level certificate
• University Certificate
• University Diploma
• One-year certificate in [name of discipline]
• Post-secondary certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]
• One-year Post-secondary certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]
• One-year certificate

My question is can I select the one-year degree diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute

you got PR ?

I got my WES ECA results today. Can someone take a look and let me know if I can select Two or more certificate, diploma or degree in cic? I have a 4yr Bachelor's degree which I completed in India, and I recently completed a Professional Certificate course at UCSC.

This is what I see in the WES ECA.


CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Bachelor's degree (four years)

CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS
1. Credential Authentication: Official transcripts were sent directly by the institution
Country: India
Credential: Bachelor of Technology
Major/Specialization: Electronics and Communication Engineering
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

2. Credential Authentication: Official transcripts were sent directly by the institution
Country: United States of America
Credential: Certificate Program in Database and Data Analytics
Awarded by: University of California, Santa Cruz
Canadian Equivalency: Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester)


Not sure why WES thinks I studied for only one semester. I studied for 3 semesters which is 1yr of education. I have emailed them to check and correct the ECA, am waiting for their reply.

I was really hoping that I would be able to select the Two or more degree options, since without that I am only getting 395 points (losing points for age). If I select Two or more degree then my score rises to 425 which would mean I could get a nomination from Ontario. I am already getting the maximum points for IELTS and work experience, so there's nothing that I can do further there. The only other option would be to pursue a Masters degree which would take 2yrs, cost a lot of money and I would meanwhile lose more points for age.

So, can I select Two or more years or do I have to start looking for PNPs from other provinces beside Ontario?

i need ur help, Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester), can we choose two or more degrees?

Guys, I am in the same boat, though one of my diploma got a credential of Completion of a college-level certificate (one year). I got my ass saved and can choose Two or more certi diploma degree.

However, I have asked about the query everyone is after to someone and he said that a certificate, diploma and degree needs to be a Complete one, like 1 yr, 2 yr etc. So, credential with Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester) can't be counted. On top of that, when you fill up the EDUCATIONAL part in the express entry form, it says "Complete certificate, diploma, degree".

NOTE: Moreover, someone in this thread said we can only claim what is written in the Credential summary. This is not true. I called WES and they told me that the highest degree achieved is written in Credential summary section, few applicants got all credentials in the summary .

Following is my WES ECA

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Bachelor's degree (three years)

CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS
1. Credential: Diploma of Accounting
Canadian Equivalency: Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester)

2. Credential: Diploma of Management
Canadian Equivalency: Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester)

3. Credential: Diploma of Business
Canadian Equivalency: Completion of a college-level certificate (one year)

4.Credential: Bachelor Degree
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (three years)

I hope someone really succeeded with this and will turn everyone's luck.

Cheers

Hi md_uddin,

I hope all is well at your end. I am in a state of confusion and would like you to please suggest me if your educational credential evaluated by WES was accepted as "Two or more post-secondary program credentials, at least one of which lasting 3+ years".

My wife recently received her ECA similar as yours:


CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Completion of a college-level certificate (one year) and bachelor's degree (four years)

Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: United Kingdom
Credential: Certificate in Business Accounting
Year: 2016
Awarded By: Chartered Institute of Management Accountants
Status: Recognized Institution
Major/Specialization: Business Accounting
Canadian Equivalency: Completion of a college-level certificate (one year)


Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: United Kingdom
Credential: Bachelor of Science
Year: 2014
Awarded By: Southampton Solent University
Status: Recognized Institution
Major/Specialization: Business Information Systems
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

Just that it is a college level certificate is causing confusion if i should select 2 or more certificate/diploma/degree option or just the bachelors. Will be looking forward to your suggestion. Thanks

You dont have to choose 2 or more degree. While creating the profile, you ll choose the respective awarded canadian credentials. The system will calculate it as 2 or more degrees at the end.
