Hi,

I saw your query about getting GNM 3.5yrs. credential assessment by WES for immigration purpose from 2015. Unfortunately I came across your conversation after I had already sent my application to WES.
Here is my report from WES for Indian Diploma in GNM 3.5yrs

Canadian Equivalency: Three and one-half years of hospital study and training.

Remarks: The credential is not comparable to a completed Canadian education
credential.

This report does not match to any of the results in conversion table for express entry application.

I really hope this info. helps many future nurse applicants before they go with WES.

Please advice me if you went through other designated org. which recognizes GNM from India and please if you could share what kinda report you received from the assessment. I hope you get this email soon. Please feel free to write me here,
borganny2cool@gmail or +14033314878 (WhatsApp)
I will reply you as soon as I hear from you.

Best regards!

Hi..! I would like you to guide me in the process of evaluating my GNM nursing degree from Gujarat. I did WES already but WES considers GNM nursing as a 3.5 year hospitality course. I want the evaluation done for immigration purpose. You can also contact me at jollypatel277@gmail.com

I would really appreciate your guidance. Thank you

Hi,
If you want to complete your ECA (educational credential assessment), you need to either go for ICAS or IQAS because General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) is not recognized by WES. Alongside, WES does not consider GNM as a complete education. Hence, you are suggested to approach for other recognized body to get done of your ECA in manner to get positive ECA response.
In order to apply, make sure to complete your ECA report firstly and afterwards fulfill other required steps.
All The Best!
