WES - seriously not recommended

[journey21]

No.

It's clearly stated in the assessment result that WES accredited to the level of Bachelor's Degree.
Taken from his reply:

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY:

Bachelor's degree

-----------------------

So for him to put anything else other than what is stated in the assessment will constitute misrepresentation,
which will be discovered by CIC later and carries a very heavy penalty as we all know.

Dear journey21,

The points for Level of education are allotted as below:
If not accompanied by a spouse/ common law partner
◦(v) 120 points, if the foreign national has a post-secondary program credential of three years or more,
◦(vi) 128 points, if the foreign national has two or more post-secondary program credentials and at least one of them was issued at the completion of a post-secondary program of three years or more.....

If accompanied by a spouse/ common law partner
◦(v) 112 points, if the foreign national has a post-secondary program credential of three years or more,
◦(vi) 119 points, if the foreign national has two or more post-secondary program credentials and at least one of them was issued at the completion of a post-secondary program of three years or more......

reference http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/express-entry.asp

So, @betorocks qualifies to get the points for 'two or more post-secondary program credentials..' as he got both his qualifications assessed. And since only the highest Canadian equivalent degree is mentioned in the report (meaning his two degrees combined do not equal one Masters and hence he should not claim points for masters level), But since he has 2 post secondary credentials, both evaluated at Canadian counterparts, he should get the extra points.

Had he not got his diploma assessed, in that case he should have claimed points only for one post secondary credential i.e. bachelor's.

Hope I clarified well.
+1 for the effort, if you found this helpful!

perfect!,

now, when I'm updating the form, should I insert a new line with the other degree? or since one is a complement of the other should I just modify the existing line with the 2 or more credentials.

+1 to you for your help!

I do not exactly remember how the education form was presented. But I remember entering details for my bachelors and masters and claiming points for masters (obviously mentioning the WES reference number there). So, you should too have both your diploma and bachelor details entered and then claim points for two or more post secondary credentials (and the WES reference number remains unchanged). Update the form and transmit it to get the new score.

All the best!

How come 19 points more? Have you updated your profile?
120 -> 128
112 -> 119

Plus the transferability points....

The only thing I need is to pass my listening from 7.5 to 8 to score celpip 9 on all skills and thus, get 25+ points for transferability

Oh yes, I forgot about the transferability factors!!

Good luck for your CELPIP!!

WES evaluated Masters of Science (2years) as Postgraduate Diploma (1 year).
Are there chances to get evaluation as Master if I try other ECA Institutions listed on EE site?

 

[Wotsit]

It's possible, I have read of different results coming from other ECA services.
Be aware WES is by far the fastest service, you might be waiting over 6 months for an ECA report from one of the others.
