It depends.
Most people on this forum use WES because it supposedly has the fastest processing time.
For WES, your transcript must either be sent directly to WES, or it must be in a sealed, stamped envelope. If the copy you have is not sealed and stamped, you will need another copy.
I'm not sure how the other two work.
Hi,
I am an Indian citizen and am willing to immigrate to Canada.
I have done my bachelors (BCom) from India (Delhi University) and Masters degree in Accounting and Finance from United Kingdom (Aston University). I am currently pursuing ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and target to complete it by the beginning of 2017.
I have part time accounting experience for 3 years in India. I have also done voluntary teaching in United Kingdom for 4 months and am currently working part time as an after school club worker in United Kingdom.
However, I have never worked full time. After being a fully qualified accountant (ACCA), I aim to work as an accountant in Canada and shift there permanently.
It would be great if you could guide me a suitable scheme to immigrate to Canada and also suggest my chances of being accepted in the country.
Also i have not taken the IELTS exam yet, but I do plan to do it.
It would be great if you could guide me how to go about with the relevant process and how much time would it take.

You need at least one year of full time work experience to qualify to apply. Assuming your part time accounting experience was paid, does it add up to at least one year of full time experience (1520 hours)?

Federal Skilled Workers Program.
A postgrad degree will give you added points, regardless of where it's from, as long as it is assessed as equivalent to a Canadian postgrad.
You need to start the process here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp (or here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp if you want to see how it works)
to see if you're eligible for the program.
If you don't yet have language test results or an Education Credential Assessment, you will have to guess your results.
If you are, go here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp (or here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp)
and check your CRS score.
At the moment, your CRS must be 482+ to receive an ITA (an Invitation to Apply for permanent residency).
If your score is lower than that, given maximum language results, etc. you will need to look into the Provincial Nomination Program.
Hi,
Many thanks for your informative reply.
I did do the eligibility assessment and it indicated that I am eligible for express entry.
My CRS score comes out to be 481(110 (for age) + 135(post graduate education) + 136 (Official first language proficiency) + 50 (Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer) +50 (for foreign work experience of 3 years and CLB 9).
Do i need to include Points for certificate of qualification + CLB 7 or more on all four first official language abilities, as well - maybe for my ACCA?
I am slightly confused about this. Am I calculating the score in the correct way?
Since i have never studied French, don't have Canadian work experience and don't have a job offer from Canadian employer, do the chances of me being accepted low?

You cannot add points for a Certificate of Qualification; this is only for skilled trades.
In your original post, you said that you have 3 years of part-time experience. A year of work experience in the CRS grid is counted as 1,560 hours. So in order to claim points for 3 years of work experience, you must have 4,680 hours. Do you ? If not, you will get 25 points for your work experience.
481 is a very good score, and will get you an ITA in the next couple of months.
456 is not a bad score. It may get you an ITA towards the end of this year or beginning of next, but it may not; no one knows when the score will drop or by how much.
Oh yes, I have not worked for 4860 hours in 3 years. So that would make my score to be 456.
So that means, I should go about with starting my application, right?
Also, what are the things I would need in hand before I prepare my express entry profile?
And, as long as I meet the minimum requirements, I do stand a chance to be considered and receive an ITA, right?

In order to create your EE profile, you must have your ECA report and your language test results.
As soon as you have those, you can make your profile.
EE isn't about being "considered". Every fortnight or so, there is a draw, and everyone whose CRS is above the cutoff for that draw will receive an ITA. It is based 100% on CRS.
Since May, the cutoff has been 482+. It is predicted to go down soon-ish, but no one knows when or by how much.
