Dears,

I am an ACCA member.
  • Please could you guide what is the Canadian equivalency for ACCA member?
  • I have already got my BCOM ( Bachelor of commerce) assessed as 3 years bachelor degree. Will I be able to request further WES assessment with same WES reference number? What is the process?
  • Will WES consider ACCA as an additional bachelor degree? So that I can choose the option in CRS Tool as " two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees?

Yep can confirm, WES evaluated my ACCA as a 4 year bachelors degree
Dear RFC,

I initially did my Bachelor of Commerce from India and because of this I got 4 initial papers of ACCA exempted. Will this be a reason for rejection of giving me Canadian equivalency for ACCA by WES or for claiming " two or more degrees, diploma" option while creating express entry profile?

It shouldn’t be. I received a bachelor degree of finance in the U.K. and this also gave me exemptions from some ACCA papers. WES evaluated these as two 4 year degrees, so all things being equal, you should also get the same evaluation from WES.

Yes, I chose two or more degrees, and provided the WES details for each one as support. Good luck!

A request to Experts for guidance,

I have following qualification:

1) ACCA Member (Qualified with six papers exemption) (UK)
2) FCMA Member-Institute of Cost & Management Accountant of Pakistan (Equivalent to Canada Bachelor Degree) (Pakistan)
3) CIMA - UK (Advance Diploma in Advanced Management Accounting
4) MBA Finance - (Pakistan)
5) B.Com (Bachelor in Commerce) Pakistan
5) Working Experience of more than 10 years in Pakistan and UAE

Please guide as

A) "should I apply for education assessment for all degrees or only for one?
B) WES would consider my all degrees and can give me master degree equivalency on the basis of all degrees? Or they will consider all of above degrees equivalent to bachelor degree

Thanks in advance for your professional support.
