Hey guys,

I have a masters degree from stratford university, USA. But that university is not recognized by WES so they WES said my masters degree is not recognized in Canada.

Does anyone have the same issue?
If yes, do you have any idea, that which organization will assess the credentials from stratford university?

Please help.!

Hi Guys,

Need your help on a unique issue:

I am a PR holder. I moved to Canada in Feb 2018. I have a fiance in my home country whom I am due to get married to in Feb 2019. I want to get her to Canada asap. There are two options I am exploring:

Option 1: I was thinking to have her apply for Express Entry as single applicant starting now as she has good profile. Assuming that she gets her PR visa by December 2018 and we get married in the home country in Feb 2019, she can then change her visa status to married which will take i guess further 3 months and therefore can join me OR she might not declare the marriage and we register court marriage here once shes here.

Option 2: The other option is to get married and then apply for spousal visa but that will take longer for her to get to Canada.

Do you think that option 1 is better? Is there any problem with that? Please guide

thanks!
Hi again Guys! I would really appreciate if someone can guide me on this. It is getting urgent for me!

Thanks again

  1. Hi friends
    Good day. Hope you are well. Has anyone in this group got their PGDM from AIMA ECA'ed by WES?

    I had queried with WES whether AIMA is one of the institutes which they recognize. And got the following response

    Please be advised that WES cannot advise the accreditation or equivalency of your credential without examining the official documents.
    We would like to emphasize that WES evaluations are advisory opinions and not binding upon any institution or organization.

    Can you please guide me whether i could proceed and apply for WES for my PGDM from AIMA? I see some of the group members post in various groups that their ECA report from WES stated that their PGDM didnt fetch them any points :(

    Your advise is much appreciated friends. Im at 429 and my PGDM might push my points higher

I already answered this question.

For Express Entry, your spouse has to appear in IELTS, apply ECA and all relevant documents will will take one year till PR.

Spousal VISA will also take around one year, but not so much troublesome like EE.

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding my Indian work experience. I wan to apply for Express Entry. I didn't show my Indian Work Experience at the time of applying for my study visa. I was enrolled into a part-time studies and was working full-time at the same time. I have an experience letter from the employer and pay slips as well. I am not sure whether I can include that 1 year of work experience or not. Please advise me on this
