Have patience, at this stage they take atleast 10 working days for Bachelors and upto 15 working days for bachelors+ Master’s! As they have update on 24th Dec expect an update between 13-17th Jan.

Hi all,

I received my WES ECA report on January 2, 2020. Here are the two degrees evaluated and their Canadian equivalency:

Bachelor of Science Major in Accountancy (4 yrs.) - assessed as 3-year Bachelor's Degree
Bachelor of Laws (LLB-4 yrs.) - assessed as Four (4) years of professional study

Canadian Equivalency Summary - 3-Year Bachelor's Degree

Question: Does anyone know what four years of professional study means? It seems as if WES only took into account my first degree (undergraduate degree) in B.S. Accountancy. In our country, LLB is a post-grad degree and one must finish at least a 4-year undergrad degree before proceeding to LLB.

If you guys know of any other thread with similar topic, kindly inform.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Your Canadian equivalency summary mentions only one degree?

@seadragon: That's correct. Confused at this point if I'm able to claim points for "two or more degrees" or just the 3-Year Bachelor's Degree indicated in the Canadian Equivalency Summary.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to confirm the current process of WES, for ECA we need to :
  • request University to send Sealed Statement of marks for us, and
  • Degree/Diploma certificate (xerox) - I can post directly to WES without any attestation?
Also, I already have an ECA for my bachelors, and now I am upgrading to add another credential (PG Diploma). I understand that I need to send my Bachelor documents again, but would WES take less time to evaluate my bachelors as it is already verified by them?

Thanks in advance!

You can claim points based on the Canadian equivalency summary only so in your case it would be Bachelors's only. Your other degree was not complete since they gave it a study only equivalency? Did you send Provisional Certificate and Marks Memo for it? If you did then maybe they made a mistake and you need to contact them asap to fix it. Or else, since it is a professional degree, maybe you need somethings else like a license to claim points for it. Let's see what others have to say.

No chance they will do it faster. I also applied for an upgrade to my existing ECA report and they took their own sweet time to evaluate both my Bachelors and PG Diploma documents and I got the estimated completion date after almost two months since they received all the required documents. If they want to do a secondary verification, then your report will get delayed even more by a few weeks.

Also, there is no need to send copies of your OD's as they are optional but it doesn't hurt to send them. I did not send them for my application.

Thank you for your input @seadragon. I did complete my LLB degree, in fact, the graduation date was indicated in the transcript of records/mark sheets. In the B.S. Accountancy transcript, the graduation date was indicated too. I was thinking maybe WES overlooked my LLB/made a mistake. From what I have read in other threads/posts of other members, they were awarded a degree for LLB, whether 3/4/5 years. With mine, however, WES did not even consider it as a degree. :-(

I guess I'll have to raise this matter to WES. Still looking forward to hearing the opinion of others.

Hey, that’s normal. They generally take 3-5 working days from the date of acceptance. You should be able to see some update by today or by Monday.
