How about 2+1+2 i.e BA+PGD+MA ?

Would CES & WES evaluate it differently ?

Anyone? Please? :-X
Hi haceeb,
We can't say.. if WES or CES will evaluate it differently for sure..
and here we are finding the real examples where this has happened actually.

regarding your education.. to get a primary understanding of your provisional ECA, pls check..

https://www.wes.org/ca/preliminary/poe.asp?

How did your education follows:
First you did BA, then PGD and then MA..

or BA then MA and then PGD??

WES evaluates PGD in different ways for different people. A person who had PGD applied for WES Evaluation got his summary as "Masters" and another guy got it as undergraduate Certificate :( . So, you cannot be sure which one you will get. I have no idea about how CES evaluates. So, do some research and then apply. Good luck!
As already discussed 2Yr BA +2YrMA = 3 or 4 Yr of Canadaian Bachelor.

I am asking with respect to general pattern of WES. How they treat 2Yr Bachelor, 1Yr PGD then a 2Yr Masters.

I cant say anything about this combination.

I can suggest you to check your provisional ECA here and submit the educational details in the same flow as they completed..

Pls share those results once you do it on wes website.

Aw! Sad. Then you are left with very few options. You can mail them and tell them your situation and they might tell you how to proceed OR you have to go with other organizations that evaluate your academic credentials.

In that condition, it is better for you to go for CES instead of WES. (13 weeks for CES compared to 4 weeks of WES)

Though they are very slow compared to time taken by WES, I have read on many posts here on the forum that CES have more comprehensive coverage of courses from different countries.

I am trying to get more info on this one point. Is the wrong evaluation of a 3-yr BSc and 2-yr MSc combo (from India) bcoz Canadian BSc is a 4-yr program? Or is it a 3-yr program?


Can someone tell me:
For Canadian BSc (Pure Science):
What is the admission qualification required?
How long it takes to complete a Canadian BSc? Is it 3 yrs or 4 yrs? I am not asking about Honours degree
How many credits?


For Canadian MSc (Pure Science):
What is the admission qualification required?
How long it takes to complete a Canadian MSc? Is it 3 yrs or 4 yrs?
How many credits?


For Canadian PhD (Pure Science):

While checking CIC website today, I found two more options to do ECA for immigration purposes:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp
Designated organizations for ECAs
You can get your assessment from:

  • Comparative Education Service – University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies(CES)
  • International Credential Assessment Service of Canada(ICAS)
  • World Education Services(WES)
  • Medical Council of Canada (professional body for Doctors)
  • Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (professional body for Pharmacists)
  • International Qualifications Assessment Service(IQAS)
  • International Credential Evaluation Service(ICES)
ICES:
http://www.bcit.ca/ices/eca/

The estimated processing time for an ECA is approximately 8 weeks from the date on which all required documents are received in our office.

IQAS
http://work.alberta.ca/Immigration/educational-credential-assessment-for-immigration-purposes.html

https://iqas.work.alberta.ca/eca#/

The current IQAS processing time for an assessment is approximately one month after all required documents and payments are received; times may vary based on the volume of applications.

Anybody has done ECA from these institutions??

Good day all, sorry to ask something that might have been answered.
I have a Diploma in Fashion from a Polytechnic and I'm not sure if WES can evaluate it. I have tried to contact them without success.
I'm not sure what they term occupational or professional credentials.
Is there anyone who got evaluated by WES on a diploma similar to mine?

thank you in advance

BCIT Service fees: http://www.bcit.ca/ices/eca/servicefees.shtml


It is $200 per educational credential. Does it means for BSc and MSc = $400? Or is it $200 only? to add courier and other fees

They offer Rush Services which is $400 per educational credential

Hi Can_US,
your question is valid and we must get clarification about this.

You can write a mail to ICES on icesinfo@bcit.ca.
