Yeah I was also wondering the same!

so you say it’s your personal experience, did you get graduation and post graduation (from SCDL) both evaluated together from IQAS?
Or is it that you only got your highest qualification i.e SCDL evaluated?
Hi Jagjit,
I have done my SCDL PGDIT verified by IQAS (4 Months IQAS took) As we need the Highest Degree for Immigration purpose, It`s recommended to go for that, As more degree below that will increase your process time and extra cost for Transcript and International courier for the SAME RESULT of your highest degree equivalent to Canadian Postgraduate Certificate / Diploma or University Diploma.

Thanks for confirming.

One last query, was your SCDL was a distance one stretched from 2 to 4 years? Like my Post Graduate Diploma is 2016-20 which is stretched up to 4 years so IQAS will still validate it as Post Graduation certificate or it will be as Graduate degree of 4 years?

If I don't send my normal Graduation(regular 3 years) and SCDL certificate (PG) then will they consider my SCDL one as a Post Graduate? If not then agaon I have to get ECA done from IQAS for Graduation degree then.

As per my understanding they should, as they validate degree which you have shown is within provided validity. Safer side go for both the degree and send them an email about this query, very rare chance to get reply but nothing wrong in give it a try.
Mine PGDIT was completed in 2 years.
what ever you do, please don't forget to update on forum, may be it will help number of new candidates. As this one going on since years :)

Ok Guys here is the update 2020 Aug
IQAS is not evaluating SMU degrees and the application are getting rejected it is confirmed by SMU officials on email
I am in a process of ECA from ICAS since SMU officials clarify that ICAS is the only authority who is doing Canada ECA for SMU.
Now SMU has sent the transcripts to ICAS and its showing received in application updates.

So strong advice to all degree holders of SMU only go for ICAS even though the processing time of ICAS is but more as compared to others.
But it's better not to get rejected and lose money then getting ECA done a bit late
Hi Mr. Faheem,

Could you share your contact number or it'd be more appropriated if you call me on 7337086468.

I've checked all the pages (total 23) thoroughly in this forumbfor Transcription/ECA for the MBA (DL) from SMU and have approached almost everyone either by numbers or email addresses mentioned. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any response from anyone (most of the numbers mentioned are being used by others). Even if I got reply over mail then they have suggested to get in touch with the people who are either processing or have recently processed as they've gone thru years back.

Thank god, at last at the page 22 I found you, who explained well with the latest information, hence kindly help me in this regard to proceed further.

Expecting your reply soon.

Regards,
Nitin

What procedure you opted for the Electronic copy for ECA ?
Does SMU sent transcript via their official email address ? or some other mode of communication?

In every case you receive soft copy by email and hard copy
In the immigration process only file number is required so I came to know that if I receive my hard copy in Canada it will save another 40-50$
So I did the same.
Yes smu send both email and courier to ICAS

I think, you need re-apply for evolution. IQAS does not renew the report for immigration.
