Hello everyone,

So I'm not quite sure how to get my qualifications assessed via WES and other evaluating agencies. I graduated from a two year long Diploma from a college in Canada and then I started a top-up degree online learning course from a good university in the U.K and I'm about to finish it.. I'm aware that WES doesn't evaluate Canadian qualifications but if I just send in my one year long U.K degree for evaluation, I'm certain that I won't receive a fair assessment. Is there any way to receive a positive ECA so I can apply for my PR? I do want to WES to take into account of my Canadian qualifications alongside with my top-up degree but I don't know how I can make them do that.

I sent them an email but haven't received a reply yet. Any suggestions?

Try IQAS or any of the other evaluating agencies. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp?expand=designated

HI,

I am an ACCA qualified and I moved to Canada last year. I wanted to convert my ACCA into CPA. But given I don't have any university degree, I was not able to do so. I am planning to do a top up uk degree from a UK university recognised by WES Canada. The top up UK degree is equivalent to 120 credits. I wanted to know the number of credits that WES will avail for a top up uk degree.

May be you can use this tool. If this tools says your degree is a four years degree then, that is 120 credits.
