MBA equivalency

[sanmatijatale]

Hi everyone,

I have done PGDM from an autonomous institute in India. Are per my research PGDM is not considered 2 year degree equivalent to MBA in Canada. So, I am planning for a MBA program from an institute which is university affiliated(*University comes under the WES approved list). Will IQAS or any other authority consider this degree as 2 year canadian MBA equivalent?

Hi.
I have completed my Bachelor's in Engineering (4 year program) and my MBA (2 year program) from Osmania University in India.

I would like to know what is the equivalency it will be granted? With WES, it is recognized as a PG Diploma ( 1 year ).
Also, which ECA agency is recommended if I am to get a Masters (2 years) recognition? Also, are all ECA agencies accepted/recognized for Express entry immigration purpose.

Thanks
Faraaz

It's hard to tell unless you apply.
For starters WES has a notorious policy of awarding Master equivalent only for IIMs.
As a first step, try searching in these forums if the intending University and course was awarded as a Master from IQAS previously.
