Hi Istari/Raj./Stanlee,

While creating the EE profile in education section, they asked level of education once and Canadian education equivalency according to WES for each of the degrees/Diplomas obtained one at a time.
Here's my scenario:

1) 2 years Post graduate Diploma in Management(PGDM) : In the level of Education drop down I selected Two or more certificates/Diploma/Degrees and again when they ask for Canadian Equivalency I selected Bachelor's degree (4 years) (As mentioned on my WES report.)

Question 1 : Is whatever I have entered above correct? or should I write Bachelor's for both the drop down?
question 2 : My overall Canadian Equivalency Summary says :Two Bachelor's Degrees (four Years), So in this case what can i input above to claim points for Two or more bachelor's degree in Level of education and Canadian education Equivalency respectively?

2) 4 years Bachelor's degree: In the level of Education drop down I selected Bachelor's and again when they ask Canadian Equivalency I selected Bachelor's.
I guess this one is correct.

Thanks!

Based on the info you provided I would go for "Two or more certificates/diploma/degrees"

Thanks. If affidavit is not needed, do I need to include copy of passport along with the transcripts envelope for them to acknowledge that both names belong to one person? My name is first name1 first name2 last name1 last name2 as per passport, but it is first name1 first name1 first letter of each part of last names as initials. I believe that it would be pain to get these things fixed in the report later, so just making sure that I get it right first time.

I believe that you can choose 2 Bachelor's degrees.

Hi Raj.,

Thanks for the revert.I didn't get your thoughts on question 2.

let me enrich my question: What should I enter in level of education and Canadian education equivalency in EE profile for my PGDM to get points for "Two or more certificates,diplomas or degrees."

As per WES, it is :
1)PGDM: Evaluated as Bachelor's of 4 years
2)Graduation : Evaluated as Bachelor's of 4 years as well.
Overall WES remark : two Bachelor's of 4 years.

Hello aspirants!

Quick questions regarding ECA. I have got the sealed envelopes from my respective Universities for BE and MBA. My query is:

1. While applying in WES, it gives two courier options - Standard (CAD 7), and International Courier Service (CAD 85). Could someone please suggest which one to opt for?
2. For sending the documents, can I send through any courier of my choice? any suggestions on a reliable service in India?

Thanks in advance. Cheers!

1) It totally depends on you,as to how soon you want the courier.Personally I opted for Standard delivery which come in 10 working days.If you go for express ,you will receive the parcel in 2 days.
2) Yes you can send the docs through courier of your choice.Had my courier parceled through DHL in 3 days to WES with all the tracking updates.
Hope that helps.

Many thanks Sanha!!

Just one more thing. For applying WES for my Wife, should she use her post-marriage name (surname changed) or pre-marriage name (name on her degrees and marksheets)?? How would it effect the final EE application??

She needs to use the name on her passport. Her ECA report will contain her name as it appears on her degree, with her current name in brackets.
