It's taking six weeks easily for people who submitted documents last week of August - we recently received completion date updates. And the updates are slow you'll need a lot of patience. It sucks I know - I only hope they don't mess up the evaluation that will seriously piss me off.
WES timeline for 2018
- Thread starter aylla.ayat
- Start date
oh ok.. then I think it would safe to assume that people who applied in the month of Sept will possibly get the eca latest by Oct 2nd week..
Also does any one if WES recognizes only certain degrees for Canadian Equivalency? I heard that sometimes even a Masters Degree if it doesn't meet Canadian Standard may not be recognized or might be recognized as a bachelor's degree or may be a double bachelors? I am not really sure how accurate this info is, but I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this..
I've heard that too and it's my biggest concern right now. I've only submitted my Australian Master's - and if I get any other result that's going to be a problem. I don't think it is random - I read somewhere that they look at factors like course length, coursework (hours), minimum credits to see if it intensive enough to be a master's. Not able to find proper data on this though.
I'll get the ECA on the 3rd of October ... there's time! Documents reached them on 20th August - that's the current timeline.
ok.. I hope atleast by next week, I will get to know the completion date if not the complete report..
Same here..I havent been able to find info as well... I have two Masters from US.. I just hope that they are well recognized...
I have a masters from Singapore and I've had friends of mine who've gotten their degrees assessed as masters. So hopefully it should be ok for us too I guess.
There is a free WES credential evaluation tool through which you can get an idea what value your degree has in Canada. Rest the final decision is WES’s. I am not sure whether they consider marks/degree into consideration.
I my case I am double masters as well. However, in the website my MBA from UK is getting masters whereas MSC (maths) from PU is getting bachelors. It is so surprising as I have got distinction in maths. So I am eagerly waiting for 28th September when I will get my ECA
ok.. Does that mean that any MS degree from US is worth a bachelors in Canada? Because in US most masters degrees are MS and very few universities offer Masters in Engineering..
The reason I ask that question, is both MS and MSc stand for Master of Science even though both the degrees are completely different..
