WES result - Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester)

Guys, here is a reply from WES regarding Completion of college level certificate (one semester) and omission of credentials from the credential summary (though it won't have any affect). You can tell WES to fix it and they will.

"Dear Mr. UDDIN,

Thank you for contacting us with your concerns.

We have included the college certificate (one year) in the summary. Please note that under Canadian Immigration regulations college certificate (one semester) does not earn any CIC points. As such, we do not include this equivalency in the summary.

We regret our omission of your college certificate (one year) in the summary in our original report.

We would like to emphasize that WES evaluations are advisory opinions and not binding upon any institution or organization.

Sincerely,

Director of Evaluations"

Hope this make everything clear that Completion of college level certificate (one semester) credential won't give any points.
Thanks

where did you email them?
so what should I do now? Should I not put it under 'one year'? or not at all?
 
Hi All,
I am facing similar issue regarding BTEC, appreciate your feedback.
Following are the results as per evaluated by WES, should I list them all in Express Entry application or only the highest qualification?

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Master's degree

CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS
1. Credential: Bachelor of Science
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

2. Credential: BTEC Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership
Canadian Equivalency: College-level postgraduate certificate (one semester)

3. Credential: Master of Business Administration
Canadian Equivalency: Master's degree

If I need to list them all in the Education section of EE application, what should I fill for the Level of Education regarding the second credential mentioning ‘One Semester’ as this option is not listed; shall I select ‘One year program at a university, college..’?

Thank you

Hi Mkad,

Was the BTEC level 7 the diploma or the extended diploma ? I intend to go for the Extended Diploma level 7 , extending the same logic that will be considered as College-level postgraduate certificate (one year).

Thanks in advance

What's the difference between BTEC level 7 the diploma or the extended diploma ?
The institute where I am taking this course informed me that this is an extended diploma.
 
If BTEC Level 7 Diploma is graded as one semester college level post graduate, What will BTEC LEvel 7 Certificate in Strategic Management and Ledership be graded as then?

I have seen similar cases to yours, they were able to claim points for both qualification, you can ask the assessor to re amend the certificate for you. what is the diploma that you have taken ? and what is your bachelor degree?
 
Thanks a lot for your reply.....

Hi everyone,

Just in the process of setting up an Express Entry profile,

I recently had my BTEC National Award Certificate (it was a full time one year Business course) verified through WES and the result of Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester) was sent. Does this mean I can put down 'One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute' on my application? It's my only post secondary qualification currently so id be lacking on points if I'm unable to.

Also does skilled work experience in Canada also count general skilled work experience?

Thanks :)

Alex

You may not be able to put as one-year certificate. However, ask WES what is there definition of one semester because if it is around 8 months you may be able to claim completion of one year certificate. Yes skilled work experience in Canada gives you additional points in work experience category.

Hey mate. It is better to ask WES to put both the credentials in the summary section. They did the same mistake with me. Upon asking, they have fixed the problem. But, it will not make any difference. Because, when you fill up the Express entry profile, you will be choosing credentials individually, and the system will automatically score you 2 or more degrees point. For peace of mind and no harm in asking them to fix it.

Follow this: fill up the inquiry form and tell them about it; wait for 2-3 days; if they dont reply; post it on their fb page; they will take action immediately;
