Bhai I went with WES. Got an email this morning. They've given me a "First Professional Degree" equivalency for my 3 year LL.B. from CLC (Law Fac.). I don't know how or why they choose to give some people a professional equivalency and others a bachelors. Just luck I guess.
I had written to the IRCC Minister for clarity on the issue. Got the following response:
Dear *&^*&^*&^*&^:
Thank you for your correspondence of December 21, 2020, addressed to the Honourable Marco E.L. Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, regarding the assessment of foreign credentials for immigration purposes.
I appreciate you sharing the circumstances that prompted you to write. In order to receive points under the Express Entry category, applicants must undergo an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) from an organization designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to verify that the foreign degree, diploma, certificate or other credential they obtained outside Canada is valid and equal to a completed credential in Canada for the purpose of immigrating to Canada. A list of the organizationsclients can use to obtain an ECA can be found on the IRCC Website.
Please note that Employment and Social Development Canada has overall leadership regarding foreign qualification recognition. Moreover, designated credential assessment agencies, such as International Qualifications Assessment Service and World Education Services, are independent from IRCC. As such, IRCC is unable to intervene in their assessments.
While I understand that this may not be the response you had anticipated, I hope that you will find this information to be helpful.

Sincerely,
F. Macmillan
Ministerial Enquiries Division

I had also written to WES. Same fate.

IQAS is pretty much undoable right now because of the daily limit.

So here is my 100% successful SOP for every person who wants to apply to WES:
1. Apply to WES.
2. Go to your choice of religious institution.
3. Pray.
Don't worry. WES assess all Indian law degrees equivalent to Juris Doctor.

I got same result in Q4 2018

Hi everyone, I am looking to get my BALLB degree (5 Years) from Panjab University evaluated, shall I go for IQAS or WES? Has WES ever issued FPD to BALLB degree?

Hey guys,
Just to let everyone know, that my degree has been assessed as 'First Professional Degree' (which is equivalent as masters). I had B.A.LL.B(H). It was an integrated course for 5 years from IP University.
So, good luck to everyone.
Hi, Was it through IQAS?

Hi, just to let you know that I received my PPR today. I was in the same situation as all of you. I had an LLB degree from UK and it was assessed as 4-year bachelor degree by WES. But I went ahead with my application along with a detailed letter of explanation and it got accepted.

Hi! I have the same concern. I have been trying to create the application via IQAS but it says everyday that the daily number of applications is limited and asks to try another day. Please advise if WES would assess my 3 year LLB from University of London (International Program)

I evaluated my 3 year llb uk degree with CES and i got bachelors degree equivalent. I was hoping to get first professional degree but i was told that a uk llb is 3yrs while a Canadian llb is 5yrs therefore mine falls under a bachelor's degree equivalent.

Please has anyone evaluated their uk llb alone with iqas?
