In my view, edcuation and exp are both different factors for assessment the eligibility. If WES/ICAS recognizes our educationals credentials we can claim points for the education irrrespecctive if you done in regular or distance mode...

Exp is another factor for assessment.It is based on the calcualtion of working hours...It should be paid job and full time for 40 hours per week..
do i need to select Full-time or Part-time for my MBA from SMU DE... IQAS evaluated it equaivalent to Canadian Masters...
but i am creating express entry profile and there entering education, it asks whether full-time or part-time?
is this distance education considered as full time or part time once evaluated by WES/IQAS?

Yes Bachelors from WES and Masters from IQAS is fine.

But, if you have not already evaluated your Bachelors, then send both Bachelors and Masters to IQAS. Save 233 CAD dollars from WES. :)
did you select full time or part time when submitting EE profile.... for MBA which was distance

Hi all, i have few questions and would really appreciate any assistance:

1. Is the academic request form mandatory to be included in the transcript envelope by university?

2. Can i send my bachelors and masters transcripts myself in a separate envelope and my application package in another? I have to add some documents from UGC with the masters degree and i dont think my university would do that.

3. I already have a transcript envelope that i requested in 2017 for WES evaluation. Can i send the same?

4. Is there any problem in recieving hardcopy of the ECA report to a Pincode address in india?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

Please advise whether to go ahead with IQAS or ICAS to evaluate my SMU MBA degree? Is there any difference between ICAS and IQAS if we do the evaluation for the immigration to Canada? Please anyone answer.

Thank you so much Arindam. Some more clarification please. Does SMU send the Transcript directly to IQAS or we have to get it and send it to them. Also is there any online payment facility in SMU to pay for the transcript as I am not living in INDIA. Please advise.

What is this "Kindly reply asap"???

1. Distance education from SMU is valid.
2. I verified my MSc from IQAS as Masters. IQAS took 12 weeks.
3. There is no option on IQAS to mention part time or full time. Just send transcripts and they will evaluate.

Side note : if your question number 3 was for Express Entry application, then you will need to mention 2 year part time education.
