Hi everyone. I am new to this website and although you guys have enormously contributed to my understanding of the evaluation process, I still have some questions.
I am a new ACCA Member (would receive the membership certificate in a couple of weeks) and have also done my BSc Honors from OBU. Sadly, my third professional qualification as a CFA is not evaluated by WES
My main question is that do I need to get my O and A level evaluated from WES in addition to BSc and ACCA as well?

Also, as per my current understanding, for ACCA I need to provide copies of fundamental level, proessional level, affiliate certificate and membership certificate to WES directly while a status report, letter of equivalency and letter of good standing will be sent directly by ACCA. For BSc, I will have to send copy of degree while OBU Shop shall deliver the transcript to WES.

Please correct me if I am wrong in my understanding of documents to be shared with WES, and let me know if O A level evaluation is necessary or would add any points to my profile.

Thanking you guys in advance

Hello all,

Please I need your advice. I have a bachelors and masters degree in Accounting and finance and I am an ACCA Affiliate yet to convert to membership. I have recently sent my credentials to WES for evaluation except ACCA Docs because when I assessed myself using the CRS on CIC website. The section that says highest qualification, it says Masters or a professional qualification. So for this reason I feel sending only my BSc and MSc to be assessed by WES is ok so no need contacting ACCA. Please I need your thoughts on this.

Thanks Monica.

My Question is,


Is there any ACCA affiliate/member - working in IT field as Business Analyst, System Analyst and pursued Canadian immigration under NOC code 2171?how is ECA assessment went through ? What was steps and procedures he has followed?


As with growing needs of IT services, software vendors started hiring industry professionals to improve their systems and software, as they know business process of industry much better than non-finance people do.


These jobs were so lucrative in terms of compensation, travel, and working nature that many finance professionals has opted it. Neither it is bad at all nor disadvantageous, in fact will they be valuable resource for audit firms in future when there is a digital submission of financial statements approved, as they are already working on XBRL.

Hi,

I am an ACCA and my ECA is in progress. I had obtained exemptions (F1-F4 and F6 to be precise) from ACCA on the basis of my CA passes and cleared the remaining papers. Will that affect my evaluation?

I am aware that normally ACCA is evaluated as a Canadian 4-year bachelor but I just recently came across a post on a different group where a person had his ACCA affiliation evaluated as a one-year undergraduate study and he had obtained exemptions. I have a BSc (Hons) from OBU and am aiming to select the 'Two or more degrees option..' as that will give me additional points but starting to worry since coming across that post.

Anybody experienced anything similar before or having knowledge on the matter?

Regards.

Hello,

I am currently studying ACCA and have cleared only 4 papers so far i.e Level One which is equivalent to a Diploma in Accounting in Business and paper F4. I have also O Levels and A Levels. My husband is currently applying for PR. Can you please let me know how many points he can claim for my education in the Express Entry Profile.

Will WES evaluate my transcript for ACCA considering that I have not yet completed it? I am planning to send my certificates for O Levels, A Levels as well to them.

Do you have any idea what will be WES evaluation for my case?

Apologies if anything is not clear as I am all new to all these.

Please advise.

Thanks and regards

Abby

Hi,

I received my ECA report last week and WES has evaluated both of my credentials as 4-year Canadian bachelors.

Thanks.

 

[Mkhan_Khi]

Does that mean your score will be based on double Bachelors in the express entry? Or you will only receive points for Bachelors?

Hi,

I received my ECA report last week and WES has evaluated both of my credentials as 4-year Canadian bachelors.

Thanks.

Dear All

I am an ACCA member and had sent my degree for evaluation. I also have done Bachelors of Commerce from Pakistan (2 year degree). I am also trying to send my Pakistani Bachelors of Commerce to WES.

My question is, having an ACCA qualification, should I have just relied upon it for my evaluation. Adding Pakistani Matriculation/Intermediate and Bachelors, have I done a mistake? Since it has definitely increased my waiting time plus I do not know what difference would it really make if ACCA is already regarded as a 3 years bachelor or more (from my online research).

Secondly, If a Pakistani Bachelors + ACCA can give me more points, then it might make sense worth all the hassle. But if they are going to evaluate all the documents and somehow give me a 4 year bachelor equivalent, then it should have been better not to add the Pakistani documents.

NOTE: I had to call WES to add the Bachelors of Commerce credential while my ACCA was already being evaluated (Have I done a mistake or should I ask them to delete this credential and continue to evaluate on ACCA??) I also do not know, how does it work while filling up the application for ITA!!!

MY CONCERN: it's GETTING TO LONG TO GET THE PAKISTANI PROCESS OF ATTESTATION

Can someone please guide me here?

I have another question i have also completed BSc OBU degree in 2017 so what ECA report would they give me basis on these two qualifications

Hi All, I really found this forum to be of great help in finding answers to common questions and information.

If some one could help me with the information regarding on going ACCA for evaluation. I have one exam left to qualify ACCA. Does WES consider in progress ACCA as well? Also, if they provide any credits for CMA, USA as I have completed that and if there is any credit given to Advanced diploma in accounting & business granted by ACCA as on path towards membership.

Your help would be highly appreciated!
