Wes did not consider Master's degree from Stratford University, Any other option?

[kkpkumar]

Hi, I have a Master's degree from Stratford University which WES did not recognize it. I have given IELTS exam twice with scores over 7 in all Sections except in writing which I am stuck at 6.5 twice.I have over 5 years of experience as a Software Programmer in USA, looking to apply for PR. Please let me know if anyone had luck with other Assessment Institutions with Stratford Degree. Thanks in Advance.

Stratford is a for-profit college and is not regionally accredited. It's possible another one of the assessment institutes may recognize it - but you may be out of luck - meaning this degree is not the equivalent of a Master's in Canada.

Hello Kkpkumar,

I also just got my ECA from WES.org Summary is "Master degree from a non-recognized institution"
Did you tried any other organization?
Please let me know if you find some alternative

Thank you

Did you try with any other institutions for evaluation? I'm on the same boat; received my WES evaluation today and it's says,

Status: ACICS Accredited (see remarks below)

Canadian Equivalency: Master's degree from a non-recognized institution

Remarks: Only institutions accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies in the U.S. are regarded by WES as recognized in Canada.


Unsure on where to go from here.

No they will not accept acics degree from now onwards i am saying about the people who got wes report as masters from non accredited institution can apply for express entry

Hi Harsha0199,

Thank you for clarification.
So people can apply for Providence Nominee Program (PNP)? that is also based on your score right?

Current to qualify for ITA you required 67 points and I am standing on 66 points (India B.E gave me 21 points only). Master degree from Stratford University not giving me any points.
So how can I apply for PNP program? if you can give some more information so I can apply.
If you want I can pass my email address and phone so we can connect separately

Thank you
Mehul
