Hello CanadianWasp, I just sent you a private e-mail. I will like to reach out to you by direct e-mail. I am kinda in a dilemma with WES and IQAS. I have ITA already but with a WES evaluation. I selected professional degree in my EE profile and got ITA on that basis. Without that, I would not have made the ITA cut-off point. Now, my deadline is July 25, 2018. Trying to decide if I should reject this ITA pending IQAS which can be a very long process depending on a lot of variables. I was wondering if I can learn more about your colleague/friend who used WES evaluation of LLB as bachelors and still got PR. It will really help me in reaching a firm and final decision.

Did you enter the pool without ECA? I hope not as this is a waste of slot for others.

I haven't heard if that before though. Did you write on the 2nd of June? They said those results aren't ready and that's annoying since its all thatsvholding me from diving in.

CanadianWasp:
Hi, sorry I hadn't responded to your message.

How much time do you have left to submit your application?

Questions people should ask really, before Iphy's posts, did any lawyer complain about using wes and not receiving the professional points? Plus CIC website states what a law ECA should contain and one of it is a "bachelor of laws". Anyway, I honestly don't want to get into this debate. I'm hoping to get gcms notes of my friend. So if you have some time, you could wait before declining.

I can assure you that, those who used WES but claimed professional degree were lucky because it didn't affect their CRS score.
Read Koonlay's post on this thread. He posted sometime last week.
Already you've said if you didn't use professional degree you won't have received ITA. That, to me, sounds like misrepresentation.
If your ECA says bachelors degree equivalence then its bachelors degree equivalence.
The ECA is not for fun.
The ultimate decision is yours to make in the end. You may be lucky.

mcstan18:


Kindly decline the ITA and wait for another if your CRS score would fall below the round of draws that got you the ITA when you recalculate using WES ECA report. If your score would be too low to get you another ITA, go for IQAS' professional degree evaluation. Trust me, your score would be recalculated at the CIO in this manner. Those who got PPR after doing what you're attempting were lucky enough not to have fallen below their ITA round cut-off.

Thanks Ysteph. I understand you perfectly. In any event, I did not know there was a difference between WES and IQAS evaluations until I stumbled on Iphie 25 chats some few weeks ago on LLB evaluation on WES. In fact, just joined Nairaland today finally as a result of that post. I had been under the impression that evaluation of LLB na just evaluation in so far as the degree certificate says bachelors of law, you know. Thanks. I doubt if I can bet on luck when It may be seen as misrep and I lose my application fee. Just that IQAS is slow sha. I have already applied to IQAS. All documents from me and my Uni have been delivered to IQAS. Guess, I just hope for the best in the next two months.

gsade:


CanadianWasp. I have sometime. At least, about 33days, to reject or not while I also await IQAS. I am in that position that Iphie 23 was in. I will really like to know what that GCMS note will say. May be just to put to rest the issue finally. Thanks, CanadianWasp.

weckl:
From koonlay post, he evaluated both his LLB & law school certificate and the outcome from WES was bachelor degree and one year postgraduate diploma which is equivalent to 2 or more certificate on the EE. Those that i heard got PPR evaluated only their LLB from WES and chose professional degree. It may sound absurd but that is what it is.

ysteph:
weckl this is a new angle to this matter. If it is evaluated as two or more certificates it is two or more certificates. It cannot be professional degree. Koonlay's post was clear.

ysteph:
Okay. Glad you found this thread.
It will surely end in praise.

weckl:
I followed Koonlay post and engaged him at some point and he confirmed that he included his law school certificate. You can verify this from the thread.

CanadianWasp:
Lol, my bad, honestly didn't see that gsade can you please wait before declining?

gsade:

Truly, glad. I did not see Iphie 25's post until around 2am. I cannot even remember why I was awake that long on a weekday. I just paid for IQAS immediately and I have been scouring the internet for information on the WES evaluation and any useful actual experience on it. You I found out that Iphie 25's GCMS notes shows that it was her WES and not her IQAS that was recognised by the VO as professional degree. But the difference for Iphie 25 is that her WES report had a comment saying that her the bachelors (four years) is a "first professional degree requires to practise law in Nigeria". So her experience did not seem conclusive because she had that little bit of comment on her report which was not in the canadian equivalency portion. The GCMS notes from CanadianWasp's friend(s) may truly resolve it.
