Guys, I got my academic credentials assessed successfully by WES for the EE stream of Canada. I am planning to apply for Australia PR too. Is my WES credentials certificate valid there or do I have to get them done from some another agency?
Thanks for your help.

For Australia PR you need to get both your education and work experience assessed by authorized agencies. The assessment agencies are based on your occupation.

I expect it will. WES have a free tool that will give you an idea: http://www.wes.org/ca/evaluations/preliminary.asp

Look on Google for CRS tool. Work out your CRS score based on the level of English you think you can achieve with education level you get from WES free tool. If you get 450+ points, do IELTS and submit your ECA, you'll have a good chance of getting an ITA. If you're in a rush, ECA first as it takes 4-6 weeks to come through, excluding any additional correspondence.

Also, try not to bump old threads up that aren't really relevant to your question. It's pointless and rather confusing for people.
