Hi,

Standard delivery is perfect. WES will send you a soft copy as soon as they finish. This is what you will need to create your EE profile. So it doesnt matter if the hard copy takes long to come.

All the best

Hello,
I am an Engineering graduate(BTech) - 4year degree from India & I did 1 year post graduate certificate course from Canada. I am applying in Express Entry.

So my question is when I check under Education 4th point in CRS : What is your level of education ?
1.Bachelor's degree( 3 or more year program)
2.Two , more certificate, diplomas, one must be for a program of three or more years?

Which of these above two fit in my case?

Hi,

If you have an ECA for the Indian degree you qualify for "two or more...."

Hi. I have one doubt. I am planning to study 8 months graduate certificate program (project management). After completion of the course will it give me additional points when i apply for express entry ? Your valuable feedback highly appreciated.

In my opinion, as long as WES acknowledges your credentials as either a bachelors/masters degree based on that you can claim points.

See what others have to say too........

It's a good idea. You just need to ensure that the qualification will be equivalent to a Canadian graduate certificate. Otherwise you may waste your time.
Check the WES evaluation tool: https://applications.wes.org/ca/degree-equivalency-tool/

All the best

Anyone got PCC from Mumbai. I submitted my docs in local police station on 28 so how much time it will take for me to get PCC

I believe you are threading via PSK because that's a viable option to acquire PCC. Steps include

• Login to Passport Seva Kendra and apply for PCC.
• You will be carrying original passport and residential proof upon which the officer initiate your clearance.
• You will then receive a call from your local police station for verified.
• Once verified, you will be notified on your collection date from PSK office.

The entire process will take from 10 days to a month max.

Not necessarily.
It wholly depends on the duties and responsibilities you have performed in different jobs. NOCs may differ accordingly.

Hi,

Got my ITA already, but have a few fundamental wrinkles that I need to be ironed out here:

1. I mentioned 2 degrees in my application prior to getting the ITA, MBA & B.Tech. However, my WES report only covers the MBA. Should I retain the B.Tech through the application and provide documents for it anyway or remove it and explain the same in the LoE?
2. How accurate are the exp letters supposed to be? One of my past employers is totally not reachable, but I am in luck with the others. Should I remove this position (was a brief anyway) or provide the supporting paystubs etc and submit it anyway?
3. In general, what all is to be shared explained in the LoE? Is there a set format/template for it?
4. If there case officers find something missing or incomplete, do they reach out for more info or is the application written off completely?

Any and all the info around the above said would be appreciated. Thanks much.

Karan.

Correct. You are only required to have a minimum of 1 year in your primary NOC, the rest of your experience can come from several NOCs.

I personally had 2.

Remove the B.Tech from your educational history and only enter it in your personal history where no ECA is required.
Just mention this change in your LOE. Your points wont change as you are given points for your highest qualification .

2. How accurate are the exp letters supposed to be? One of my past employers is totally not reachable, but I am in luck with the others. Should I remove this position (was a brief anyway) or provide the supporting paystubs etc and submit it anyway?

If it was brief and you haven't claimed points for it, move it to personal history just like the B.Tech.

3. In general, what all is to be shared explained in the LoE? Is there a set format/template for it?

The LOE is your chance to shed light on any grey area, so use it to explain anything you fell is unclear.

4. If there case officers find something missing or incomplete, do they reach out for more info or is the application written off completely?

It depends on what it is and the individual officer. Somethings lead to the application being rejected and in some cases you will get an ADR (Additional Documents Request).

Any and all the info around the above said would be appreciated. Thanks much.

Hi Everyone,

I did my Masters in Northwestern Polytechnic University, California USA. But at the time of my graduation it lost recognition from DOE(Department of Education), USA.
As I started applying for Express entry, I applied for WES to Evaluate my Masters degree. I got reply from them that we are not accepting any documents from NPU currently. They refunded my money.

What should I do?
Is there any alternative process?
Is there any Certified Organization to get my ECA done?

Help me please!

Thanks in Advance..
Peace.

Hi TanakaM...
I have a query regarding this..
My primary NOC is 0122. As many NOCs are closely related to each other, I have modified a bit according to NOC 6235 as per need of PNP and planning to apply accordingly. Will it create any faux pas at any stage??
Thanks and Regards.

If you have modified according to NOC 6235, then that should be your primary NOC not 0122.
