My ECA report says I have 2 Bachelors degree (4 years).
I have submitted my documents for B.E. and MBA. How does it change things for me? Does it change my Score? Do i need to get it corrected?

Check with WES why they did that? You would get slightly less points than Master's (I think 1 or 2) - not much difference in CRS but you would still want to know why they evaluated it lower

You will loose a total of seven point as if they put two bachelor degree, then it will come under two or more Degree, certificate or diploma thing giving you 128 points.

If it reads Canada equivalency as masters for your MBA, then you will get 135.

WES provides a report showing the Canadian Equivalent of your degrees.

So you are free to select Two or More Degrees in your express entry profile and not Masters (even though you did an MBA). This sucks but its still enough to get an invitation to apply at this stage.

I suggest you don't fight it and get in the pool ASAP.

Hope this helps!

I am currently at 408 if they consider it a masters degree. If not, i will slide to 401 which i dont think will be enough.

Don't be discouraged. 401 is a decent score these days. You should receive an ITA in the coming months, if the trends persist.

As of June 6th the calculations are also in for a change if you happen to speak French or have siblings in Canada. Have you considered re-sitting the IELTS.. because your score should be quite higher than 408 with more than just a Bachelors Degree.

Hi everyone. I am Bachelors of science from Punjab university and have MBA full time 2 yrs degree from Symbiosis University, Pune.

I had sent my documents to WES for evaluation. Bachelors transcripts were sent directly from Punjab university whereas MBA transcripts sealed envelopes were couriered by me which later WES got verified during the process.

I have got an incorrect evaluation report which says "Equivalent to Canadian 4 yrs Bachelors and 1 yrs PG diploma"...

I have a Masters degree not diploma. Can someone plzzz guide me how do sort this out now.

My questions are :
1. Can i get it re-evaluated?
2. Do you think i may have done some mistake while creating my profile for eg. : In field, i chose Marketing as it was my major. But my subjects were general management also... Do you think i should have selected management?
3. I didn't attached sealed copy of Degree (as i read few forums which said its not required). But i did send a photo copy of my degree in the parcel. Did this make a difference?

Thanks a ton in advance!

Guys, it's EQUIVALENCY. Sometimes you get something different then expected.
I have a 2 year MBA in Brazil that got evaluated as 1 year post-graduate, which in Canada have the same hour load than the one I have.

It seems that the hour load of the degrees are a major influence in what they will consider equivalent.

Hi Raul,
Thanx for replying, Yes we know that it is EQUIVALENCY in terms of Canadian education which is indirectly making Bachelor degree and Master degree fall under same category regardless of full time regular study coarse or not which is wrong.
