WES Timeline/Tracking 2019

[dotslash227]

Actually I feel this sort of evaluation pretty weird. What makes them feel they have the right to degrade an applicant's degree? To be honest, I had never heard of this kind of "an Indian masters degree is only worth a Canadian bachelor" thing until I had to apply for this. I think they should only authenticate the degree without judging its value.

I feel that It depends more or less on the number of years of education you have received.

In North America, Bachelor degrees are generally awarded after 4 years of education and in some cases, 3, if the person has been able to get the minimum credits in 3 years. And a typical Master degree is of 2 years duration.

In many cases, I have observed that, if the person has done:
3 Year Bachelors + 2 Year Master, gets an ECA of 1 year diploma + bachelors
4 Year Bachelors + 1 PGD, gets an ECA of 1 year diploma + bachelors
3 Year Bachelors + 1 Year PGD, gets an ECA of Bachelors (4 years)
4 Year Bachelor + 2 Year Master, gets an ECA of Master.

This is for WES, I have no idea about other agencies. However, exceptions are also there.

I have also observed that most Indian MBA's get equated to management diploma instead of masters, which could be due to the 1. The reputation of institute, 2. Curriculum structure of the programme.

Try to contact them via online ‘contact us’ link. That’s how I got an update from them, but it would take about 1 week

I contacted them so many times haha, I think they hate me. But I finaaaallly got an update today.

 

[vellocet]

Same thing is going on with mine. Wes has my docs under review since May 28 and I have no updates at all

I just got an update today, did you get one? Documents accepted, evaluation in progress 30 June. Evaluation completion date 22 July... Hope there are no more delays.

 

[vellocet]

Thanks, buddy! I will update my situation here once I get my report. I really hope my Australian master will be evaluated as a Canadian master. Otherwise there is no chance of getting ITA considering the consistent high scores in the last few draws.

Yeah, this is one of my fears too, even though they said my UK masters would be a Canadian masters in their degree equivalency tool.

You can try inputting your course details here https://applications.wes.org/ca/degree-equivalency-tool/

Dear ALL,

I need to inquire about a number of courses to know about their equivalency in canada before taking them. first course is a 40 credit hours Diploma in Business Skills (SCQF Level 7) given by eduqual. the second course is a 120 credit hours Ofqual qualification "ATHE Level 4 Extended Diploma in Management" given by Notting hill college in Manchester, UK. it is an online course that has multiple assessments. Are any of these courses equivalent to a 1 year diploma in canada?

 

[simranj72]

Guys my report is expected by July 5 (Friday) and these days considering the delay in report even after the due date, when can I expect my report.

I dont want to miss the draw on July 10.

People whose evaluation is completed can please tell how many days of delay they faced, before they could finally download the report.

Hey guys, please do help!

Did anyone get their undergraduate evaluated as a 3 years bachelors and then completed a pg diploma for 1 year?

What did your final consolidated WES report say? We're you able to claim points for 2 or more degrees??

You have to again send your bachelors transcripts. Since the transcripts are to be sent directly by University now, they wont accept transcripts sent by you previously since you send those transcripts and not your university. This is even written on FAQ section on WES website.

Even I sent my old transcripts when I ordered an upgrade to my report.

Here is the FAQ posted on their website:
"If I upgrade my previous account, am I required to follow the new requirements?

When you upgrade your previous account, WES issues a new reference number. Therefore, you must follow the new document requirements."

Therefore I suggest you send your previous transcripts asap.

Why do you need your hard copy, in case you receive an ITA, you would be having a soft copy of your report and that would suffice.

Thanks for the reply.
In 2017, I had applied for 2 copies of transcripts which are sealed in an envelope. So is it ok to send the same old transcripts to Wes or should I get the transcripts again from the university. Pls suggest. Thanks!

Thanks for reply..I m applying under different program in canada and which demands original eca report..So duplicate copy is fine for that?

The purpose of asking transcripts again by WES is to be received directly by the university.

If you were to send it again, the whole idea of asking again for transcripts is defeated.

You have to ask your university to send Transcripts directly to WES.

I will suggest you to contact WES through webform and request them to send you the report through International courrier which is for 85 CAD and you will definitely receive it this time.
