Sorry for my late response. I am a Registered Nurse with 3 years College Diploma from Nigeria. Wes only wrote 3 years training for me and failed to specify in clear term whether my certificate was actually a diploma. You will recall that CIC introduced 2 more assessment agencies namely ICES-BCIT and IQAS, so out of frustration I approached the two of them at the same time.
Guess what I got from ICES-BCIT?? Advanced 3 years Diploma in nursing certificate which exactly the equivalent in my Country.
and for the IQAS, I immediately on receipt of ICES-BCIT report requested for a refund from IQAS thus discontinued from IQAS.
WES don't really understand some countries educational system and thus downgrade people with their destiny killer assessment. I was a victim, I never allowed that to weigh me down hence explored all resources I can lay my hands on.
My failure at my first application under this new pathway opened my eyes to researched into several Canadian immigration journals, government gazette and immigration and refugee act laws and this helps.
In conclusion, tell your friend to apply to other agency. In fact, to be honest with you, I applied to all the 5 assessment agencies. I had got refund from 2 of them already, the last one(ICAS) refused to refund me and my application is still with them yet to be assessed.
DO NOT GIVE UP!!! IT IS NOT OVER UNTIL IT IS OVER. PUSH HARDER, YOU CAN NEVER TELL, YOU MIGHT BE CLOSER TO SUCCES THAN YOU THINK.
