Master's degree in progress

[yazan_rus]

Dear All,

I have been searching on the internet in vain to have my question answered. I have completed a Bachelor's degree 10 years ago, and I am doing my 2 years Master's degree at the moment at the University of London. When I fill in the information for my express entry profile, do I say that I have a master's degree or not? I have completed one year of study by now and I am due to graduate in October next year.

WES evaluates credentials for study in progress. Does it mean that I will get the points for my Master's degree in progress?

Thanks a lot for any insight. Thes makes THE difference for me.

When filling the masters portion in your education, tick the 'this is my current study' box

Regarding Wes, i cannot be 100% ( you can check the degree equivalency on Wes online) but since you're yet to be awarded masters degree Wes is not going to equate your study as masters. They are probably going to give you 1 yr degree/diploma. In which case you can choose the '2 or more degrees' option for calculating crs (given that you will get ECA done on your bachelors as well)

Awesome! Does this mean that I will get the 119 points as if I have "2 or more degrees (with Spouse)"? Thanks a lot!

Ideally . But it all comes down to how Wes evaluates your master study. Get your spouse's ECA done as well if possible and that gets you another 8-10 points..

Wes will only evaluate completed diplomas. Try putting your spouse as primary and check her points, you might get ITA before waiting for your masters to be done

Thanks, but WES claims to evaluate incomplete studies as follows, so what should I do?

I have not finished my studies, can I get an evaluation?
WES can evaluate education in-progress or incomplete programs of post-secondary study.

When you complete the application:

Enter "Academic Transcript" for the name of the credential.
If your study is "in-progress" (you plan to complete the program) indicate the last year that you studied.
If your study is "incomplete" (you stopped without completing the program) select "Did Not Graduate".

Hmm .. I am not sure, this is the page:
http://help.wes.org/Credential-Evaluation/Applying-to-WES/52360813/I-have-not-finished-my-studies-can-I-get-an-evaluation.htm

I assume that since it does not have the /ca in the address then it's the US page? But it does not specify....

Yes when i clicked on the contact us it redirected to the usa postal adress. Wes.org/ca if im not mistaken. Careful choosing the immigration when selecting an evaluation.

Hi there, could you please share your experience? I'm currently pursuing my Master's, and my graduation is in December 2023. Not sure how WES will evaluate my transcript. Thanks.

They won't.

You should only complete WES once you have finished your Master's. WES doesn't evaluate incomplete degrees and you won't get any points for incomplete degrees.
