Hello guys. Any idea if Wes evaluates AAT/ATS. I have been having conflicting opinions about this.

Some have reported that WES evaluates it to a one year diploma enabling them to have 2 or more certificates. But ACA on the other hand has never had a reported positive evaluation

WES EVALUATION TERMS

Evaluation Scope: World Education Services (WES) evaluates only formal educational credentials issued by duly recognized educational institutions. WES does not evaluate professional experience. WES evaluations are based upon the best information and resources available to professional evaluators. WES evaluations are offered as non-binding advisory opinions.

Credential Authentication: Evaluations prepared by WES specify the manner in which each document was authenticated. WES authenticates academic records by one of the following methods. The method used depends on what is appropriate for the specific country and level of education.

by requiring that official transcripts be sent to WES directly by the institutions or examination bodies that issued them;
OR
by requiring that official transcripts be authenticated by the relevant government authority (e.g. Ministry of Education) before being sent directly to WES;
OR
by verifying documents submitted by individuals by sending them back to the institutions/examination bodies that issued them and obtaining a written confirmation of their authenticity.
Detailed country-by-country document requirements can be viewed at www.wes.org/ca/required/index.asp

Grades/ Quality Points: WES uses an alphabetic system to identify grades. The standard WES conversion of letter grades into a numerical scale/quality points is as follows: A = 4.00; A-=3.67; B+ = 3.33; B = 3.00; B- = 2.67; C+ = 2.33; C = 2.00; C- = 1.67; D+ = 1.33; D = 1.00; F = 0; F* = (see below)

“F*” indicates a course that was failed initially, but passed on a subsequent attempt. It is not included in the GPA calculation.
“Pass”is not included in the Cumulative Grade Point Average. For study completed at the undergraduate level, it corresponds to at least a “C” in Canada. For graduate and professional study, “Pass” corresponds to at least a “B”.
Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by multiplying the credits per course by the quality points for the grade for that course, repeating this procedure for each course, totaling the credit hour quality points thus obtained, and dividing by the total number of credits.

Course Level Designation: The designation “U” (upper) or “L” (lower) against a course at the undergraduate level is an indication of its level.

Credit Recognition and Transfer: The course-by-course analysis represents a breakdown of post-secondary study in terms of Canadian semester credits and grade equivalents. One semester credit is equal to one lecture hour each week of the semester. The number of credits accepted for transfer to a degree program or towards a professional license in Canada may vary from those listed in this report in accordance with the policies of the receiving educational institution or licensing body.

Evaluations for Professional Licensing/Certification:WES does not assess professional aptitude or experience. Only authorities qualified in the profession can determine whether an individual meets requirements for licensing or to practice the profession in Canada.

Hi seniors, Does this suffice to say that OND and HND is equivalent to 2 or more diplomas?? Kindly respond pls

 

[Nelsobaba]

Good Morning, please I need some clarity on the IELTS score, my wife is the PA and she had a 7.5 band score, while I had a 6.5 band score. What are our chances of getting into the pool?

 

[Elge]

As long as she has not less than Band 6 in all the modules and ECA is ready, you can create a profile but the CRS will be low. You can retake the exam and aim for a CLB 10 which translates to 8.5,8,7.5,7.5 or CLB9 8,7,7,7 in Listening, Reading, Speaking, Writing, respectively.

Hi, you need to determine if you're eligible for the Express Entry program and if so, begin to gather the requirements.
