Hi,

Did you get your ECA?

Thanks,

Hey - there were a ton of delays with my application, but I should know sometime next week.

hishamx87

Yeah. Pls let me know.

I got an ECA from ICES and they evaluated BTEC level 3 as Grade 12 high school completion.


Thanks.

Just been thinking about this. Did you do GCSE and A-levels and then your BTEC or did you do GSCE and then the BTEC? If the latter it could explain why a 2 year BTEC is considered grade 12 I.e. Formal education to age 18. Just a thought

ICES doesn't require any other documents. They ask documents for the qualification for which an ECA is required.

I didn't use CES but don't you also have to list all education in the application.

In the application it didn't ask for prior education. But you got a valid point.

In the report they mentioned the admission requirement in which they stated that gcse is required.

I have emailed them a request to revisit the application and amend the report to post secondary diploma or to college diploma atleast in order to qualify for express entry stream.

I got evaluated today as the following:

"Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester)"

No idea if that scores me any points or not, it 'fits' the wordage used on CIC's website as "One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute"

(source https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...ad-report.html)

But it also says "one semester" so that kind of goes against the whole "one year" thing.

There doesn't seem to be much discussion I can find about people getting this exact result from WES, does anyone know if this is worth points?
