Is WES ECA Course by Course evaluation ok for IRCC?

I searched online, but nowhere did I see a categorical yes or no answer.
I upgraded my WES Evaluation to course by course some time ago.
So when I wanted to order for IRCC, I saw the option to send a duplicate record (of course by course) to IRCC.
I've sent that now but would like to know if it is ok.

This is Immigration thread where you posted this query so we answer the query based on it.
For Immigration purpose it's DOCUMENT BY DOCUMENT evaluation, for Studies it's Course by course.

Document-by-Document Report
  • Identifies, describes and provides a Canadian equivalency for each credential
  • Appropriate for employment and immigration
Comprehensive Course-by-Course Report
  • Identifies, describes and provides a Canadian equivalency for each credential
  • Lists all subjects with their corresponding credits, grades and a calculated GPA expressed in Canadian terms
  • Appropriate for admission to higher education, professional licensing or any other purpose where a detailed course analysis is required

Thank you very much for your response.

I can see WES's position on ECA. I've also read more about requirements from IRCC. From the requirements, the course by course also meets the criteria. I have seen both evaluation types; one is a one-pager, the other is a three-pager. They both have the same information on their first pages. Both types get sent by edelivery to IRCC.

I am curious, any thoughts on why the course by course might not be eligible or might not be accepted by IRCC?
