ECA from University of Toronto Comparative Education Service (CES) - My Experience

[thephdguy]

Hi

I've done master MSC Electronic Media (Anna university Chennai(CEG)) 2 years . does CES will give a Master's Equivalency ?

I ve done Bsc (3years)- Bharathiyar university - planning apply in WES to get early report

Im applying two different institutes ... is it ok ?

or I need apply UG/PG with CES to get Master's Equivalency ?


Thanks
Panneer

I assume it may be a common 3+2 case, in which, per other posts on this thread, normally CES awards 4 years bachelors + 1-year Post-graduate diploma (although, in some occasions people have received Masters, and I think only when sending their Master's Degree alone). It depends on the college and programs.

Hi all , has anyone received any updates from CES ?

I'm in the process of CES application and didn't pay yet. My reference number is displaying with X000000 on top of the application. Will this number change after I make payment or always same?

Because I'm sending Academic Record Request form to my university prior to make payment with current reference number. Due to COVID, it may be delay from university. Once they receive my documents, I will pay to CES. Please confirm on this reference number whether it's unique or will change..

Hi ! I have the same question,

I need to translate my documents and the university and the translation will take time, so in meanwhile I wanna pay the fees.

Did it change ? Thanks for your response

Hello All,
I got the report from CES. My details and timeline below:

Length - 2 Years

Timeline:
Transcripts Reached CES office - Dec 11, 2019

ECA - Masters Equivalency from a recognized University

No one explained to me if CES would equate a Masters's degree in India as Masters in Canada but I got Masters equivalency.

At the same time, a friend of mine who completed a "Master of management studies" from Mumbai University, was awarded "bachelor's equivalency".
One thing is for sure. If your certificate reads MBA and if your University/Institution is under UGC, go with CES. Else do not go. MCAs, MAs, MSCs, and others (Except MBA) are advised not to go with CES.

Hope this helps people

Cheers
Ajay

I read somewhere on this forum that for 'Master of Management Studies' (MBA from Mumbai University) also CES gives Master's Equivalency. I did my MBA from Mumbai University and sent them degree for evaluation. Now, i am little concerned with what happened to your friend.

No, it does not change. Application number that starts with X remains same after payment.

Let me tell you what exactly happened. He studied MMS (Master of Management Studies) at Mumbai University and he held a 3 years Bachelor Degree (UG).
CES awarded him "Bachelors Equivalency" to his MMS Degree.
He said, his friend (same class) too got Bachelor Equivalency.
Just sharing what happened in my friend's scenario.
But as you have completed an MBA degree, you should be fine

 

[ranjit04]

anyone who have sent documents electronically has received their final report yet ? it says on the website that electronic files are being processed in 12 weeks ONLY WITHOUT DELAYS but all i get every time i call them is my file is in queue. They received my documents electronically on 5th may, 2020.

Arent they closed at the moment? How did you receive them?!

 

[Ankita24]

Guys, I've sent my documents for evaluation since December and haven't yet received the report. This is frustrating.

Anyone else whose sent theirs during that time and still haven't received?

 

[aj534160]

Arent they closed at the moment? How did you receive them?!

Yes, they are closed. However, as my University is open, I have asked CES to send a verification email (of my Degree, Marksheets, Provisional which I have uploaded while creating account) to my university.
My University did get an email from CES and they responded to CES acknowledging them about my certificates (I paid around $25 to my university)
Indian Universities won't be sending electronic transcripts but can send acknowledgement to ECA bodies (occasionally and not every University)
So that's how I got it
