Hi all,

I have an Engineering degree as well as an MBA degree, and did ECA through WES for immigration purpose.
WES gave "Bachelor's degree(four years)" for my Engineering and "Postgraduate diploma (one year)" for my MBA. My MBA was not recognized as 'Masters Degree'.

My current CRS is 453.

Please guide which bodies can help in getting Canadian MBA equivalent ECA. Also, can I update my EE profile with updated ECA from a different body?

Hi Apoorva - As far as I know, CES (I got mine evaluated from CES) and IQAS (A classmate of mine went with IQAS) give Masters for Indian MBA. IQAS takes longer than CES for evaluation though. I suggest you read about both these agencies in the forum and choose the one best suited for you.

Hi all,

Also, can I update my EE profile with updated ECA from a different body?
Yes - once you get a masters evaluation from a different agency, you can update your EE profile and you will get the additional points.

Hi guys,
I am planning on getting my ECA done and I have done MBA from Nirma University. 2 quick questions:
1. Which agency should I get my ECA done from to get the 2 year full equivalent? How long would other agencies typically take to evaluate?
2. I have already paid for WES, can I cancel that as I have not sent any document till now?

Thankyou!

I have done my MBA from Eilum University in 2012 but now this University is blacklisted from Wes. We are processing our PR, Canada through an agent so they told me they won't send my MBA degree for assessment since it's blacklisted. So please tell me if Wes will not accept any document or stamped it then it will affect our jobs also once we will land in Canada.. Can I use my MBA degree in Canada or it will be garbage after that? Wes is necessary for PR?? Can I do my documentation from other such authorities also?? I am confused plz guide me.

Hi All,

I received my ECA report from CES today and the Canadian equivalency has been mentioned as shown below -



Can you please clarify if I can claim points for Masters equivalency based on this report?

Thank you!
Did you get a masters equivalency against your PGDM or MBA?

I’ve done my MBA from India JNTU-k, but as WES is not giving equivalent to Masters, I’d like to chose another organisation.Suggest me which is best and faster. And also, if I apply only MASTERS, will they consider to masters it do I need to send UG transcript as well?
Country of Education:India
Name of Degree:Master of Business Administration
Name of Institution:Osmania University
Equivalency in U.S.:Master's degree

That's great, thanks for the reply!
So from what I understand, CES gives masters equivalency to MBA from recognized state University unlike WES which only considers MBA from IIM as masters equivalent. Am I correct? Also, in your case how long did CES take?
I checked WES Equivalency tool
Country of Education:India
Name of Degree:Master of Business Administration
Name of Institution:Osmania University
Equivalency in U.S.:Master's degree

It is showing Master's degree? will I be getting Master's degree by going through WES?

Hi,

I have done my Master of Management Studies (MMS) from Mumbai University and wanted to now which ECA body (apart from WES) can give master's equivalency for my degree based on the past experiences of candidates who sought the assessment from bodies such as CES/ICES/ICAS/IQAS?

Looking for the most promising options here which can provide results in a timely manner too.

Please pour in your suggestions to help me choose the right body. Thanks in advance for all your help and kind gestures.
