Hello guys, Please help me out, m in a situation right now. While applying for an ECA for FSWP canada(2014) I saw that WES doesnot have my university( amity university, NOIDA)in their so called free degree equivalence software. So I went ahead and emailed the other two agencies whether they recognise the my institution (ICAS and the one from university of toronto). I received a generic reply saying that they would only be able to answer these questions once you enrol for the assessment thru their agency. So while checking and scrolling thru the wes website I found a link which had list of contact information for all the universities in India (that are duly recognised by the Indian agencies) I found my university's name. So I went ahead and got enrolled with wes but today I received their mail saying that they don't recognise my institution. My institution is recognised by ugc, by united nations, it is a member of commonwealth universities, and many other agencies. I am in a fix right now I don't no whether I should go with other institutions, I feel that they may again just tell that we don't recognise ur university. Please help, have emailed the wes people but I don't think they would do anything about it, as I again received a generic reply saying that they would review it. Has anybody found a way to make these agencies recognise an institution. Any help would be appreciated

Sorry to hear that.

If WES does not recognize it nobody can make them recognize it. Its a common dilemma with these private institutions.

What does your ECA Report state for equivalency ?

You may try to give ICAS a shot if money is not too much of a bother at the moment.

They state that the degree is from an institution that is not recognised. That's it
If that is the case then in all probability you will not qualify for FSW.

Refer the following thread for more info: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/wes-assessment-evaluation-t149367.0.html

You may want to post this in the FSW 2014 timeline for more feedbacks.

As the OP said he had to go through WES first hand to find out his credentials evaluation results.

You may have to do the same - could be from WES or ICAS. Your choice.

Hi Skabli,

thank you for the post I just saw it and it really gives me hope.

I am a 2009 engg graduate from AMITY uNIVERSITY NOida and i got my credentials evaluated from WES, I have received my reports on 1st aug 2014 stating canadian equivalency is "Bachelor's degree from a non-recognized institution" i have appealed for re-evaluation but i dint accompany it with any registrar's office letter.

I need ur assistance, would really appreciate if we can get in touch over phone or something so that you can guide me how to go about it. my email id is: "nitinraghav@yahoo.com" kindly email me your phone number if thats ok with you. thanks a lot

Hi All,

It is quite easy to get the Letter from the registrar from amity university. Go to Registrar Office, 1st Floor , E2 Block (Amity University , sec- 125, noida). Ask them to give you a letter which says that Amity university is recognized. they will issue u a letter in Just 5 Min. i got one for my self on Friday ;D :eek:..

Sorry guys, Amity University is not recognized as a legitimate university in many countries.
German judicial authorities have issued arrest warrants against the directors of this university, Ashok Kumar Chauhan and Arun Kumar Chauhan, pressing fraud charges. There is red corner notices against these directors with Interpol as well.
I have a relative facing the same plight as many of you. If you have any degree other than from Amity University, you can try to get an ECA for that. Hope it helps.
