Frankly, the logic is not BS, post this query in any ECA thread on this forum and you will see 99.9% of the people will agree that its simple common sense not to put one failed WES report along with a completed IQAS report for the same dam education credential.
IRCC is 100% right in denying this application, anyone looks at 2 contradicting reports for the same credential will not take a chance and be easy going and cool about it.
Humans make errors and I agree with that 100% but the reason I mentioned on top regarding to be careful in future and not waste ITA's like this is because many new members on the forum will read these posts one day or the other, and once people realize the consequences of ITA's being wasted they will understand that someone else's family could have got this PR opportunity in life. This is not shaming anyone at all, this is to create awareness about the consequences of doing silly mistakes which in reality is just plain simple common sense!!!
Let me be blunt. IRCC and WES and IQAS are not exactly faultless. There are quite a few instance (this one included) where they make really weird and really contradictory decisions. What I find even more amusing is that WES and IQAS do not agree when presented with SAME FACTS! These evaluations are supposed to be objective and if two agencies are not agreeing then perhaps IRCC should clarify what it means to be equivalent. Practically, I will only use one ECA. Thats all!
BTW, I am also faced with a dilemma related to WES and IRCC. WES says "You can renew your ECA (those of us who did 5 years ago) by ordering a duplicate copy". IRCC has accepted few folks application with such "Renewed" ones. And in few cases they have rejected it, as
@guydecent. For no good reason by calling their ECA "expired" and application incomplete. IRCC has not provided any clarification officially on this. Heck their support staff says that such ECA are accepted. So does WES. But apparently sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. Perhaps a/few case officer who is not well versed in all the corner cases messed up applications.
Hence, it is illogical to berate such applicants. Any applicant has most skin in the game and will always do maximum to ensure the success of his application. The application processes have few unknowns and there is a lack of clear guidelines among various private companies (like WES etc) and IRCC. Due to this, many times applicants have to suffer.
