The procedure that these organizations are following seems too stupid and outdated. Even though the ACICS got its recognition restored, none of them are accepting our degree.Yes . I did . No use . They are not evaluating our masters.
Hey all -
I saw a handful of threads about how ACICS accredited Institutions aren't recognized by WES but no one has come back and said what other Evaluation Agency they tried (successfully). So I decided to make this new thread for all ECA Organizations for anyone's reference.
1. World Education Services :
We know for sure they won't recognize ACICS.
2. International Credential Assessment Service of Canada:
I emailed ICAS on this topic and this is what they replied with
Thank you for your enquiry.
ICAS can provide a meaningful assessment only if the institution attended is regionally-accredited. NPU does not satisfy this requirement. As a result, we cannot provide a meaningful assessment.
Thank you
ICAS of Canada
3. International Credential Evaluation Service :
I emailed ICES and still awaiting a response from them; will update this thread.4. Comparative Education Service – University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies :
[Update on 2/13] : ICES will not recognize as well. Below is what they replied back to me.
Unfortunately, we do not accept ACICS for accreditation.
I emailed CES and they are not revealing if they will recognize ACICS or not; they insist on applying for an evaluation to know it. Below is what they replied with.
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your message.
CES assesses international degrees and diplomas issued by:
- Post-secondary institutions (universities and colleges)
- Secondary-level institutions (high schools)
CES does not assess informal, non-academic qualifications including:
- CES may be able to assess in-progress academic programs for general use applications only.
- Professional licenses and certifications (including those earned in conjunction with academic studies)
- Vocational qualifications and training programs
- Non-academic qualifications
Please visit the CES Help Center for more information.
- Work experience
Unfortunately, CES cannot tell you in advance whether your credential/institution is recognized, or the equivalency of your credential. This is part of the assessment service that we offer to our clients. If you would like to have your academic credential(s) assessed, please apply to our services.
I have only listed 4 Orgs here but if you have any information on any other Org besides the aforementioned Orgs, please let me know; I can update this post.

Hi,Hello All NPU Studied/ ACICS Folks,
Can we all have a quick whats-app/Skype group, were we can discuss our past present and experience, research or future information for verification approval of ACICS accreditation from any of the 4 Canadian organizations.
@sahi2, @canadalover111 ,@pnjuly1, @deesarva , @Mcanada12 ,@arun2633 ,@harsha0199 , @rajn, @bobby789 , @Sam_7511 ,@All_ACICS..
It would be good that we all tie up live means of quick communication medium for this issue we facing with of accreditation of ACICS . Many of folks like us were not aware of this prediction of future of ACICS issues and ended up putting our precious 2 years of our lifespan time, parents hard money and effort with no value and now its a draw back even for our carrier with no use both in USA and out of USA, keeping lot more folks even standing with h1b issue and opt extension or even GC following up into EB3 inside. Even till today many faced h1b filling issues after accreditation loss. Records shows that until 2016 it was a valued body. But due to some reasons it got vain to students who completed there education. Its would be good that if we raise our voting of interest reaching NPU Email- ISS@NPU.EDU or RECORDS@NPU.EDU or ACICS: (202)-336-6780(USA) or Perlices wakers gilliam :2023366769. (pwgilliam@acics.org) or reach respected helpful firm to keep them understand the effect ACICS accreditation loss made to many students carrier. Wish soon ACICS might be taken this issue into consideration or would at least release support agreement norm for students who completed there education before with hold of accreditation date.. Any Inputs / valid helpful directions are really appreciated. Many Thanks for all above folks for putting in your effort and research...
No update as yet ....Guys if there is any update regarding ACICS issue please keep posted
