Dear All Experts,
Needs your guidance about mistake by WES in my ECA report.
Actually I have done Master of Computer Science which is 16-years of education through Federal Government University in Pakistan. After that I took admission in MBA program. The pre-requisite for admission in this MBA program was 16-years of schooling. Therefore University granted me admission in this MBA, because I already had MCS degree which was 16-years of schooling. After completion of MBA, I have been granted equivalency certificate by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (Government Accredation Authority in Pakistan for recognizing Universities and Education Credentials) that my MBA is equivalent to 18-years of schooling in Pakistan and is equivalent to M-Phil/MS Degree in Business Administration in Pakistan. I have already informed WES about this equivalency, prior to issuance of ECA report by them.
As per Canadian Education System, M-Phil /MS-Degrees of Pakistan, which is 18-Years of schooling, are equivalent to “Canadian Master's Degree”. But WES have ignored this fact and in my ECA report they have mentioned that this MBA (18-yeasrs of schooling) has to be considered in conjunction with 14-years of schooling which means that pre-requisite for admission in this MBA is 14-years of schooling as per WES, which is incorrect, misleading and false and against the reality. Because this MBA has to be considered in conjunction with MCS-16-Years of schooling and therefore this MBA degree is actually 18-years of schooling and hence equivalent to Canadian Master's Degree. WES have declared my MBA degree as total 16-years of education and declared it as Canadian 4-Years Bachelor Degree. Similarly for my MCS degree they have mentioned the same that it is equivalent to Canadian 4-Years Bachelor Degree. Although for MCS degree they are right but for my MBA degree WES is wrong.
For all of experts' information in this forum, even for admission in PHD in Canadian universities my MBA is acceptable as Canadian Master's Degree in Business Administration.
Today I have already lodged official complaint with WES through all Email addresses that I have through this forum, as well as I have sent them Fax messages to their six fax numbers. Parallel to this I have already arranged the official Equivalence certificate duly attested and sent in sealed envelope by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan to WES and this Equivalence Certificate clearly states that my MBA is equivalent to M-Phil/MS in Business Administration and it is 18-years of schooling in Pakistan.
Can anyone suggest that WES will accept their mistake and correct my ECA report? OR they will be stubborn and stick to their false issued ECA report that mentions that both of my Masters degrees are equivalent to Canadian 4-Years Bachelor degrees!!!
OR I should go for legal action against them because what they are writing in my ECA report is misleading, incorrect and totally false against the facts and reality and even against the Canadian Government Education System.
Appreciate all of your expert advice and patience for reading this long message.
Regards,
George
