I contacted WES but unfortunately no luck, they simply replied saying that they have found no errors in the report. The I20 from the University clearly states that I was a full-time student for 3 semesters and that I was enrolled in a Post Graduate Professional Certificate course, but those brain-dead morons at WES will simply not acknowledge their mistake.

Not sure what to do now. Claiming "Two or more degrees" with a 1yr Certificate course is tricky enough, I don't see how I can select that when they have evaluated it as a College-level certificate (one Semester). There is no way I am getting an Ontario PNP with a score of 392, let alone an ITA. Just wasted lot of time and money for nothing. :'(
Hi There , congrats on your Nomination from Ontario .
I am sailing on the same boat , i have less score to be nominated . I am planning to pursue some certification course of 16 credits from California .I am afraid if WES will accept it as 1 year certification course .
Can u please guide me if your application went through smooth with WES credentials of having just 1 semester on ur evaluation.
Your help is really appreciated .Thanks much.

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 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

I was surprised that WES gave me 1yr certification for a 6 month diploma done in australia. However, i did 1yr diploma from TAFE, australia, but they gve it as 1 semester. In terms of diploma, it is hard to say what they ll score you.

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

Most Certificate/Diploma courses are 6-9 months so not really sure how WES evaluates some as one semester and some as one year. Really confusing!!

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.
Hello
I have similar qualifications
My BSc Hons is from UK university studying fulltime there and based on that I have received exemptions for CIMA cert in BA, i will.only need to give 1 exam to earn the cert in BA will eca evaluate as one year college same as yours or it will.not due to exemptions. And the transcripts mentions that you have completed by passing marks or just indicates as passed..

If you can help me i would like to pls.email me.on mrbadami87@gmail.com
