WES is one of the options:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/education-assessed/how.html

You can try if you can match your institute and degree with their online tool before you decide whether or not to apply for their service:
https://www.wes.org/ca/wes-tools/

Mind that their operation have previously suspended due to COVID and is only resuming limited service recently so don't expect they can have everything completed within 35 business days as stated on their service pledge..

BCom i'm not sure, but there is no such thing as a 2 year Bachelor's degree in Canada, i would guess you'll get equivalent to a 2 year diploma but don't quote me on that.

ACCA member is equivalent to a 4 year Bachelor's degree

Hi guys, I have a question about my WES evaluation , I did my bachelors in science ( 3 Years ) and Masters in science ( 2 Years ) from India. But in Wes evaluation it shows " Bachelor's degree (four years) and postgraduate diploma (one year) " as per Canadian equivalency . So my question is what should I mention in my application .? should I fill out form as a Bachelors or masters. Please advice, your help is highly appreciated.


Thanks in Advance

Based on -
  • Bachelor's degree or 3-year diploma from college, university, technical or trade school - 112 points
  • More than one degree, certificate or diploma (one must be for a 3-year or longer program) - 119 points
  • Master's degree - 126 points
119 maybe?
You may need to check with a consultant...

This is the problem with WES, most Master's degree from India they only give postgraduate diploma instead of Master's equivalency.

You can only put what you have according to your ECA, so you can 4 year Bachelor's degree and 1 year postgraduate diploma.

If you really need the points for Master's degree, you can try to get another ECA done from CES or IQAS, they will usually give equivalency of Master's degree for Master's degrees from India.
