my masters degree is from united states. My university is accredited to ACICS and i tried getting my degree evaluated from WES and IQAS. Both did not evaluate my degree. I am losing a lot of points because of this. Can anyone help? Does anyone know if any eca board evaluates ACICS degree?

I would imagine this is because of their accreditation issues; being that, they're not accredited from what I can tell. Did WES or IQAS give you a reason as to why they refuse?

You might try contacting UBC or University of Toronto's CES to see if they'll evaluate it. It's a tricky situation when a university loses its accreditation.

The wiki page of this university says its unaccredited university. It was formerly accredited by ACICS. This is a big enough reason for you to expect problems with degree evaluation from reputed organizations like WES. Keep aside Canada, even USA don't consider degrees gained from 'for-profit' universities to grant its H1B visa.

Hello Srj,

I have my Master's from VIU and I got negative result from WES. Did you try IQAS for ECA or just you find that information on web?
