I Have Masters degree from UK, was using the ECA tool review says it is equivalent to Canadian Masters. Should i evaluate my bachelors or just Masters. Getting my attestation of bachelors gonna take some time as i'm working remotely. My masters, I spoke to university and they gonna mail to WES directly.

* will get extra points for evaluating my Bachelors ?
* Should i just evaluate Masters alone or both ?

Help me out guys :) ty

Don't go for WES. Go to IQAS for Masters. If its WES you will have to send your Bachelors as well.
When I created the Application it never asked for any extra bachelors degree for evaluation when i select the country of education as United kingdom. But Masters from some other country like India it asks for bachelors degree as requirement for the masters evaluation. is that the requirement ?

Yes WES is notorious for underevaluating masters from some countries. My wife's university was not even recognized by WES but ICES evaluated it as masters. It would have cost me points and PR to go with wes.
Just search the forums about wes.

Do WES have a bad rep for evaluation ?
I'm one of the victims of WES and I can name many more. They are fast but are poor with their evaluations.

They didn't recognize my PG Certificate properly. Now I'm sending it to IQAS. It's a long wait but hopefully it will be worth it.

You have to check your country's document requirement at
https://www.wes.org/ca/required-documents/

if they are asking for Bachelors as well, you will need to provide that.

it is not like that. It depends on the country of education. For Asian countries, they are asking for both Bachelors and Masters.
For USA, they do not ask for Bachelors. So, first check on tool and then answer.

You are correct. It depends on your country of education.

It is the case with some countries, not all of them. Its not luck, its the process.
