Hi guys.
Before moving to Ontario, I would like to check if my diplomas earned in my country will be recognized in Canada (I graduated a bachelor and master degree (5 years) plus I have a post-graduate studies certificate).

So I found out that there are 2 recommended organizations which can offer the credential evaluation services.
1. ICAS - the general report costs only 90 CAD, but you have to send the original documents.
2. WES - more expensive one, 'the only one recommended by the government' (says on their website)
3. Service by universities - for example University of Toronto offers such a service and it costs 200 CAD.

Does anyone have an experience with any of them?
If so, which one is the best/fastest or which one do you recommend?
Thanks a lot!
