Hey guys, just to let you know that I finally managed to have WES to re-validate my credentials.

They first assessed my Post Graduation as "One year of graduate study" that wasn't giving me any extra points, after the revalidation they changed my credentials to Post Graduate Certificate (one year), now I can claim points for "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees since I also have a 3 years diploma.

Hi All,

I have a similar problem. I have a 4 year bachelor degree and 1 year post graduate diploma both in India. WES assessment was 4 year bachelor equivalent for my bachelor degree and 1 year executive diploma for my diploma.

Now in the EE profile there are two separate entries for these educational qualifications. Not indicating 'Two of more degree / diploma, one of which is more than 3 years" is giving me 25 points less.

Should I specifiy 'Two of more degree / diploma, one of which is more than 3 years" in both the ECA section of both the educational qualifications?

Thanks in advance for help.

Exactly Vijay, you have to choose the option two or more diplomas to claim the right points because CIC system does not do that automatic. I did here and my score was updated.

I had my graduate study revised too. Now I am in the game again.
But I am facing another problem now.
I pulled out my active profile because I changed my studies to only a degree and became ineligible. Then, after I had my WES report revised, I came back to mycic and I created another profile. But now I have my jobbank account linked to my old profile, which is no more eligible.

Hello Everyone ,
This is my time line :
ITA received March 27th ( FSW Program - I am working in canada for 10 months )
Medical Done March 30
Application Submitted April 23rd
AOR received April 23rd

- No updates

I have one worry ,
I have finished a Master Degree from Canada , my program officially is 2 years ( 4 semesters ) but I have finished in 3 full time semesters.

I have one worry which is in the EE profile they ask you if you have studied for two years , I replied yes because my program is a 2 years program.

In addition, when they ask you to enter the details of your education I wan't able to enter 1.5 as the duration of my studies.

Is anyone passing the same situation ? Does anyone know if this might be considered as a misrepresentation ?
Note: I was Invited to apply to FSWP so I didn't receive any points for the duration of the Master degree, I was awarded points for the degree it self.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Could you please tell me what is the procedure for re-evaluation of the degree. I have done M.A. and as per WES it is ' One year of graduate study'. Can anything be done? It would be a great help.

Thanks,

Your second credentials should have been recognized by WES as from a recognized institution. Only then you can treat it as "two or more post-secondary diploma, certificate or degree....."

Please don't assume anything on your own in the euphoria of getting extra points. Yes, this may result in misrepresentation.

I have this question :

I graduated my bachelor degree in 2012 ( Mechanical Engineer ) - but I started working in 2011 .

When they asked me in the PR application : when was I qualified to perform this job , I mentioned 2012 .

do you think they are going to disqualify me , or reject my work experience till I received my Bachelor degree ?

I am supporting my experience with social contribution slips to the government and Reference letter , and boss business card ,

BTW , do they contact your employer ? , do they notify them earlier to doing so ? so that they are able to respond to their phone call ?

-----------
EE profile :27th oof March
ITA : 27th of March
Application Submitted : 24th of April
AOR : 24th of March
No update

I am not sure how will CIC take up your case, as you have mentioned your date of qualification to perform a job post your start of work. This is absurd, as generally your degree or certificate entitles you to start your work and always it's the qualifications and then work.

I hope you get it.

Hi Nirav,

Yes it is from a recognized university and a regular Master of Arts (2 years). It would be a great favor if you could please tell me the procedure for re-evaluation. The best way to contact WES and is there a form or a link available where we can apply for re-evaluation? Also what would be the fees?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks buddy.

- Did you study your bachelors for 4 years?
- Did CIC grant you additional points once you changed second degree to post graduate certificate?

Thanks
