As I said before IRCC will consider evaluation by WES. They will not consider the remark just the evaluation.Yes, it varies from university to university. My question is does the IRCC consider this WES evaluation as earned doctorate or not: Canadian equivalency of a Master's degree (at minimum) with a remark describing that academics in the field, upon consideration of the dissertation, may in some instances consider this credential to be equivalent to an earned doctorate (Ph.D.).
