In 2017, the average processing time for FSWC is 4 months according to their stats,.
Where did you get these stats? Is it for all over globe? Did it mention Sri Lanka's stat alone?

Though the average was 4 months, most of the applications processed within 2 months or even less than that..Given that the information provided was accurate and complete...However, it is not the case in 2018...Seems like...

And another thing, our 6 months waiting time starts when the R10 check is completed. Basically once after the medical is passed it seems

Not sure about that...Some are saying from AOR to PPR...That is from the date after getting the acknowledgement from CIC after submitting the PR application...

80 % of the PRs have processed n 4 months (Globally)Those are official results. I got to know from a whats app group I have currently subscribed. The processing time depends on the dependents as well. one of my friends got PPR within 1 month from AOR.

Currently, Ottawa LVO is issuing PPRs for May & April Aors.

Nope it clearly states that we should count 6 months once the R10 check is completed.

Ok, Thanks for the details...Can we also subscribe into that WhatsApp Group? How this LOV thing works? Do you have any idea...Do all Sri Lankan applications assigned to a specific LOV or it depends based on case by case?

I have assessed my BIT Degree (University of Colombo) from WES. It was a 3 year Degree programme. However, they have considered it as "Bachelor's degree ( four years)" without any problems.

Since BCS also a credible organization, you'd not have any problems getting assessed them..please go for it.
Thanks Heshan.

I have a Bachelor's Degree from University of Colombo and it was assessed as a 4 year degree by WES. What I want is to do another certificate/diploma so that I can be eligible for "2 or more" category. So before doing such a course, I need to make sure it is recognised by WES. I thought of doing Certificate in IT of BCS. What is your opinion about it? Do you know anyone who has got an ECA for any BCS qualification?

Thanks

In the Canada Immigration web site under CRS Criteria it says,
"Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years"

as I am aware of, a certificate is adequate if it's a course of one year.

Hi Heshan,
How was the WES assessment process handled with UOC, did the university directly send transcripts to WES or what exactly was the procedure ?
