WES or IQAS or ICAS? Which ECA should I consider for Canada Immigration? | Canada Stories

WES or IQAS or ICAS? the video will provide you a clear understanding of ECA - Educational Credential Assessment. I have received multiple queries on which Educational Credential Assessment agency one should select while applying for Canada Immigration or Canada Permanent Residency [PR].
It could be a tough choice to select among the fasted World Education Services [WES] or International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) .
I have tried answering this based on 4 cases which depend on your education qualification and what is your estimated Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is.
Below are the points focused on the video
- Difference between WES vs IQAS vs ICAS
- Which ECA service should I use?
- What is the Educational Credential Assessment?

Hi Monisha, I had gotten my B.Tech degree evaluated by WES in 2020. Now I have completed a PG Diploma from IGNOU and want to get that evaluated. I have two questions: 1) Does IQAS offer better points for 1 year diploma than WES? Like will they consider it MBA equivalent? 2) My BTech is already evaluated by WES, so if I choose IQAS for diploma, do I upload only diploma there? What do I mention in my express entry profile?

[@dlatebloomer6106]

Hi, thanks for sharing this video. I graduated as Bachelor's Degree in Accountancy a 4-year course. Prior from that I studied BS Pharmacy for 1year from other institution in the year 1995. When I shifted to Accountancy in year 1996 they credit some of my subjects from my 1st intitution. I took a summer classes so I can fast track my studies. I finished my bachelor's degree in just 3 years instead of 4years. So when I apply my ECA to WES under the "year started" I put 1996-1999 which is total of 3years. Could this be a reason why I got only 2years diploma and not Bachelor's degree in my WES Report? Should I supposed to indicate the year started as 1995-1999 = 4years since my institution credits some of my subjects from my 1st course? Can I submit an appeal to WES for re-evaluation or should I try to other ECA bodies? Hope you can advise.

[@sachinbadial2952]

I have done M Pharmacy and i have experience of 3 year+ in QA department, and know i want to apply for eca which is best and better for me.

Hello, I fall in Case2 and my wife falls in Case4. Can we individually go for IQAS and WES respectively. While applying for PR, we are planning to apply as a couple. Kindy guide.

[@umairjavaid1851]

08:40 Nicely elaborated. However at this point I must add that only 16 year's of Bachelor degree will get Canadian Bachelors degree Equivalency. 14 year's Bachelor is High School Diploma as per WES. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[@mohammedimranali9792]

Hi Monisha, Thanks for an informative video! Quick question: I have done WES for B.COM, B.A.L.L.B. and L.L.M.(all are included in one wes report) and was a PR applicant, As I was not getting PR invite I applied for student visa and got it just by using B.A.L.L.B.(graduation). Is that okay if we show WES report for masters while applying PR now or should I apply for ECA for B.A.L.L.B using IQAS?

[@SudhirKumar-ps6ne]

Hey, I have a query as WES cancelled my application stating that they do not accept documents from my university. Also, IQAS has the same kind of notion. Which ECA body I should opt in this case then? I have done MCA regular from Guru Jambheshwar University of Science & Technology(A+ UGC certified).

[@manojkottayam4073]

But while you fill up the original express entry application, there is only option for (1) Bachelor's degree or 3 more year program (2) masters. So the point is same for Bachelor degree and three more year program, isn't it?

[@hedo04]

Hi Monisha, Since Institutions like IIMs award a PGDM and not a Master's, could you help us in understanding how are they evaluated as a Master's by WES? Also, I have a PGDM from an institution(ranked among the top private institutions in India for MBA) which is listed by WES, would that, in your opinion, be considered as a Master's equivalent? Thanks!

Hi, This is new, a lot of people have started getting these notifications recently. Probably IQAS is receiving too many applications & they have added a CAP [no official information on the cap]. Try doing it as it says. Also, feel free to post info if you are successful so that others can follow your lead. All the best.
