Hi

I have done B.Sc. (H) Computer Science (3 years) and M.Sc. Computer Science (2 years) from Delhi University. I have used the WES Degree Equivalency Tool to check equivalency in Canada. It states as follows:

Credential 1
Country of Education: India
Name of Degree: Bachelor of Computer Science
Name of Institution: University of Delhi
Equivalency in Canada: Bachelor's degree (4 years)

Credential 2
Country of Education: India
Name of Degree: Master of Computer Science
Name of Institution: University of Delhi
Equivalency in Canada: 1 year of graduate study

If I get the evaluation done from WES, they will mention Bachelor's degree (4 years) as highest degree. I guess that I can't fetch points for my Masters.
However, if I get the evaluation done from IQAS, will they evaluate my M.Sc. as equivalent to Masters in Canada? What if I get ECA evaluated from both, WES and IQAS. Which will be considered by CIC?
Please help me in this regard.

I got Bachelors (4 years) + One year postgraduate diploma in my WES report.

No wonder the WES equivalency tool gives different result. Can't trust it always :)

Please let me know what option did you chose in CRS calculator Two or More certificates?

How many points you got on CRS for BSC + MSC?

Yes, I chose Two or More certificates in CRS Calculator. Final WES evaluation said 'Postgraduate diploma', chose the same in EE profile. My score was 467 points for which I got ITA.
