Sorry to post this question here-does anyone know if CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) is evaluated by WES and does it count for Points in addition to a Bachelors Degree? Thanks for a quick response.

From what others have posted it's equivalent to a 3 year degree.
If you have that in addition to another degree, then you will qualify for points for 2 or more degrees, one being at least a 3 year degree.
You can also use WES's degree equivalency tool: https://applications.wes.org/ca/degree-equivalency-tool/
Yes, for sure, CIMA is evaluated by WES. CIMA membership is equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree. Hence you can claim CRS points for “two or more degrees”.
Can anyone please reply to this. I have completed my ACCA and i'm an affiliate. Im intending to do BSc this november submission. Can i send my ACCA only to WES canada now and send BSc certificates once i get them? since it will be next year.
If i send both at different times, will i have a problem in assessing them as two separate degrees?

I'm asking about sending acca and BSc alone to Wes. And if it will be assessed as two separate degrees if I send it separately? Or should I send both together. Wes website doesn't have an answer to this.
I'm assuming you mean the Oxford Brookes BSc associated with ACCA.
It should be fine, but i think it is preferable for you to send both together especially because they are interrelated. Also,if you send the BSc later it will count as a separate evaluation, so you will have to pay again.
Just send them together at one go, pay one fee, i think that's preferable.

yes bsc associated with ACCA. but apart from the fees will there be any problem? cuz i haven't done bsc yet and for the certificates to come to me will take alot of time next year.
It wont be a problem apart from what he said that you would have to pay money again. But would be annoying to go through that process again to get another evaluation addition to the report. I have gone through it and the whole process is annoying.
Well, in theory you could first send ACCA to WES then ask WES to put your evaluation “on hold” until you get your BSc sorted but in my opinion there’s little point to it. Sending two credentials separately won’t save you any time or money, so what’s the point?
No, as they've said it should be fine, because they will already have your ACCA transcript and certificates on file.
i thought of sending ACCA to wes this year. and start process once i receive my wes. cus my bsc will be completed by nov (if i pass) and certificate will come to me by july. after that sending to wes will take another 3-4 months and ill be getting it by nov 2021. will i have a prob of getting two degrees if i send it twice? pls pass ur honest opinions..
