Can I get my ECA done by WES and IQAS?

Hello!

I am a lawyer from Mumbai with two years of work experience looking to move. I applied for an ECA from IQAS (because they would recognise my degree as a professional degree and WES would call it a double bachelor's degree) and my documents are now on their way to them. I just got my IELTS results and scored 9, 8.5, 8.5, 7 - LRSW.

I realised after my results that even if WES recognises my qualifications as a double degree, I would end up with 446 points. The ECA from IQAS would get me 453 total points.

Should I go for WES now and in case I don't make the cutoff, use the IQAS ECA when that arrives? Will the immigration officer find it suspicious that I'm using two services which are showing me different results?

Thanks!

IQAS gets me 453.
WES gives me 446.

IQAS will take 84 days.
WES will take 20 days.

That means I could get my ITA in about a month with WES, but 3 months from now with IQAS.

Of course I'm being genuine with IRCC here. I'm doing nothing wrong or trying to fool anyone. I believe WES wrongly assesses my degree, but if I can get in anyway, is there any harm in doing what I asked in my original post?

Thank you for your reply.

Doesn't matter how many eca you do, only the one you will claim matters. So go ahead with your plan. Use whichever gives you ITA.

Yes no problem. Even two eca for two different credentials are allowed. You are just being worried for nothing!

I am exactly in a similar situation.

Kindly advice me if I should go for both WES and IQAS?
