If you don't agree with WES's decision, you can send them an email through their "Contact" form.

The difference in equivalency may be because of the marks scored, though. (For example, scoring 90% may earn you a higher equivalency than scoring 60%.)
I do not agree with you that the marks score would not impact the degree equivalency. But yes, you can always contact WES if you do not find the results justifying.

Thanks

I have no idea if the marks affecting the equivalency is possible. But I believe in the USA, for example, a fail is 60% or below, whereas in Australia (where I live), a fail is 49% or below.
So it's possible that a passing grade in the country that awarded the degree is not equal to a passing grade in Canada.
Also, if the grades had no impact, why would WES require your transcripts ?

The whole point of getting your degree assessed by an authority designated by CIC is that to check whether the foreign degree you have obtained is valid in Canada or not and if it is valid then how it stands in terms of Canadian Standard. Once, you have obtained your degree from your respective University successfully (with even passing grades), WES or any other organization will not counter it by saying that your grades are not good so we will not assess it or assign you a lower assessment.

Experts can also comment on my prospective.

Thanks

Hello all,

This is really a helpful post with all the information. I am curious to know as an FSW applicant under the express entry, Is anyone allowed to enroll in a PhD program after landing in Canada? I am the principal applicant. My husband and I, both of us are planning to enroll in phd program in canada. Meanwhile, we are applying for express entry for FSW.

Please share your opinion.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Thanks a lot for your comments @istari and @aspiratnts. I have checked that in detail. Both are first class honours from UK along with a professional accountancy degrees. One is assessed as "two bacelors degrees one 4 year and other 3 years" and Other is Assessed as One "4 years Bachelors degree with remarks that other degree is provided in collaboration.".
Now this sounds so much confusing and is having a material implications on scores.

That is a huge difference between the two ! I would definitely contact WES.

Just wanted a confirmation, ordering GCMS notes causes the officer issuing the notes to first clear any pending actions on the file, right? Basically it's a very simple way to induce progress on your file if it doesn't seem to be moving forward?

You need the following
1. Letter from bank stating the details of accounts held by you (savings, term deposits etc). The letter should have your name, account number(s), date account opened, current available balance and last 6 months average balance.
2. Last 6 months bank statements
