Good morning my neighbour. Hope you're all feeling okay?
Thought I should share what caught my eyes on IRCC's Twitter account; who knows if it would help someone.

Hello, you should be worried. Please don’t claim points for professional degree if WES evaluates it as Bachelors (if you know you won’t do IQAS later before your application decision is over). There is a reason why WES and other evaluating bodies are required by CIC. It’s to help the VO’s decision. VO would rather follow the evaluation of these bodies than your explanation in LOE for the purpose of objectivity. If you evaluated your law degree with WES, claim the points equivalent to your evaluation to avoid issues. I personally have not seen anyone who used WES for evaluation and claimed professional degree for crs points yet got PPR without updating the application with IQAS afterwards.

My advice would be if you know you would submit your application after the end of May, claim points for professional degree, send your degree to IQAS for evaluation by May. Post-AOR after your IQAS evaluation is out, raise CSE and update your application with it. That was what @Romstar1 did and got PPR. Gaming maybe, but it worked. https://www.nairaland.com/5471101/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/194#84789156

NOC and degree evaluation are not related.

Oh dear, I am so so sorry to read this. Stay strong as you already have. All the suggestions are on point. Please do as advised.

In addition, you can also try to write WES to request or argue a change. Please see picture attached featuring advice on Canada visa, especially the second paragraph. No harm in trying this too.

Apologies for not responding to your pm, but then NL is bigger than an individual, it’s what makes this forum so special. I wish you the best in your application.

It works! I said a prayer to St. Joseph of Cupertino for my IELTS and I scored 8.5, 8.0, 8.0, 6.5 for RLSW. Although, I'm applying for EOR for W. Even if you're not a Catholic, pray to St. Joseph of Cupertino with faith. He will help you with your studies.

Use IQAS if you have the money and patience for another ECA to be safe

I have never seen @ bold in any of the PPR stories since I joined this thread and I have read them all and scored half. Also, how can you claim that WES evaluated your degree as masters/professional when it did not, when you would still have to attach your WES report that shows it did not as proof of ECA, and then you plan to attach an LOE explaining WES did not, but you claimed it did?? Pardon my Latin What an abuse of LOE privilege. Although I would not advise it, you can try it, perhaps yours might be positively different and you would be a pacesetter if it turns out well. I am however convinced that CIC would not accept your LOE over WES evaluation. The latter has more credibility, the former is just your assumption.
