Thanks Diplomatru and Canol and thanks a lot for everyone who reviewed my case and gave their suggestions about points that CIO will assign me for my education.
I was struggling hard with WES to at least mention in CANDIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY that i have two bachelors degrees, if they cannot declare my MPhil equivalent to Canadian Masters.
After a lot of struggle, finally one of their director has promissed to request the evaluators to review my case.
Just now saw my account on WES website and it is shwoing ''FILE UNDER REVIEW".
Can anyone's file with WES has gone under review after issuance of ECA?
And how long will they take to complete their review?
Secondly, I have sent with my application old ECA that I have dispatched on 10th Dec,2014. If by goodluck WES revised my ECA and mention that in Canadian Equivalency Summary that I have "Two Canadian Bachelors Degrees", whether CIO will rely on the hard copy that I have sent or they also review online the ECA?
In above case how many points I shall get.
Of course my second application will be sent with new IELTS score, which I am optimistic to get 20 or above 20 and I shall send my second application on 18th dec,2014.
Request feedback from forum members.
Best regards,
George

Now I have again done some research and forwarding it to you for your kind review and feedback whether my understanding is correct or not in light of the below mentioned details:-
WES ECA report is as under:-
============================================
CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY:Bachelor's degree (four years)
============================================
============================================
WES has mentioned below details of my credentials in ECA report's section CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS:--
No.1: Credential:- Higher Secondary Certificate ==== Canadian Equivalency:- Secondary school diploma
No.2: Credential:- Bachelor of Science ==== Canadian Equivalency:- Diploma (two years)
No.3: Credential:- Diploma in Applied Science Technology ==== Canadian Equivalency:- Diploma (two years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No.4: Credential:- Master of Computer Science ==== Canadian Equivalency:- Bachelor's degree (three years)
[Remarks: The equivalency for this credential is stated in conjunction with study previously completed (see No.2, above)]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No.5: Credential:- Master of Business Administration ==== Canadian Equivalency:- Bachelor's degree (four years)
[The equivalency for this credential is stated in conjunction with study previously completed (see No.2, above).]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see that my No.4 credential is in conjunction with No.2 == Canadian Bachelor's degree (three years)
Similarly you note my No.5 credential is in conjunction with No.2 == Canadian Bachelor's degree (four years)
So two Bachelors degrees based on Credential (No.2+No.4) and (No.2+No.5).
My two bachelor degree are not combined/clubbed together. Means my No.5 credential is not in conjunction with No.4.
I am still in a huge delimma to know points for my education. It could be 21-Points or 22-Points.
If you see the latest version of "Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations" (search file:IRPA SOR-2002-227.pdf) Dated.11th Nov,2014.
Read Page 92. R78(e) it says [22 points for two or more post-secondary program credentials, one of which must be a credential issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer;]
On the same page read under heading "More than one educational credential" which says:-
(a) except as set out in paragraph (1)(e),points shall not be awarded cumulatively on the basis of more than one educational credential;
and
(b) points shall be awarded on the basis of the Canadian educational credentials or equivalency assessments submitted in support of an application for a permanent resident visa that result in the highest number of points.
Now let us read another CIC official document in this regard "EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIAL ASSESSMENT CONVERSION TABLE" (file name:ECA_table_EN.pdf)
See end of page no.2 which says:-
"A 3 year or more post-secondary credential in combination with any of the post-secondary educational credentials** listed below. This excludes secondary school credentials. " And in the list below you will see several post-secondary educational credentials, in these post-secondary credentials I shall mention credentials related to me which are:- Diploma (two years), Bachelor's degree (three years), Bachelor's degree (four years). So, anyone who will qualify this clause will get 22-points. In my case if you all will note that I have my:-
Canadian Equivalency Bachelor degree three years in combination with Canadian Equivalency Diploma(two years)
and similarly
I have Canadian Equivalency Bachelor degree four years in combination with Canadian Equivalency Diploma(two years)
In addition to above I have more post-secondary credential which Canadian Equivalent diploma (2 years) in applied science.
in the same table "EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIAL ASSESSMENT CONVERSION TABLE" (file name:ECA_table_EN.pdf)
See end of page no.2, now look at last column which says:- "2 or more post-secondary credentials (3 year or longer post-secondary credential required)" .Someone who will qualify this clause will also be awarded 22-points.
Now let us apply this clause to my case, and for sure that I have total of four post-secondary candian equivalent credentials which are following:-
Four year bachelor(in conjunction with 2-year diploma No.2) , Three year bachelor (in conjunction with diploma no.2), Two year Applied science diploma
I think that I shall also qualify in this case for 22-points.
Although still nobody has clear idea that whether CIO will review my complete ECA report which mentions all of four post seconday credentials
OR
they will simply read the CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY:Bachelor's degree (four years)
Thank you very much for your time to read this long message and providing of your favorable feedback.
Best regards,
George
