WES Report-Important Query!!

[evanstp9]

Hi,

I received my wife's ECA report, and WES gave us the following:
Canadian Equivalency Summary: Diploma (2 years) from a non recognized institution.

Note that the institution was available on WES dropdown list, the menu where you select the country, institution and credential, so I thought it definitely was recognized.

Here's the tricky part:
I put in the details on her EE profile and it gave her the corresponding points, but she is still not eligible for under FSW, only CEC.

1. One theory I have is that EE has already access to WES, and based on the ECA number I put, they saw it's non recognized, so she is not eligible for FSW. Yet, she gets points... ???

2. On the other hand, if EE is not that advanced and crosscheck on the spot, it gave us the points, based on what we said, and they will ask for proof when they send an ITA. In that case, if it's non recognized, could they take back the points? Consider misrepresentation?

Does it make any sense? Eligible only for CEC, but we got points for the ECA..
Any ideas or similar experiences and/or explanations??

Is the ECA valid cause it states the Canadian equivalency, or not, cause it states non recognized?

it's the closest I found, still no definite answer though.

Any input from senior/experienced members??

Proof of funds matter...please check funds requirement to meet FSW requirment.it should be more than I guess 12000 dollars.

Thanks, I will check that.

But I mainly wonder if the ECA, where they have the Canadian Equivalency Summary, has to be from a recognized institution or not.
If you want to re-read the initial post for more info, I don't want to repeat the same and flood the post.

I'm going out on a limb here but possibly she isn't qualifying under FSW because she isn't hitting 67 points.

Look here (cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/econ/fsw/education.asp) - 19 points for a 2 year post-secondary program (doesn't care if it is recognized or not). I did see that other link you posted and that lawyer appears to confirm that the "recognition" of an institution doesn't (or more accurately, shouldn't) affect an applicant's chances.

Just a bump, in case any members have experience with any similar situation..
Please share your opinion if so!

what was the final verdict, which route did you take? I am in the same situation too. Any tips are appreciated. Thank you
