Re: BTEC National Diploma & CES
Bizarre why they'd base it on time taken to complete a course no? If a level 3, 2 year counts more than a 5 at 1 year I'll be a bit taken back!

Also, I just filled out the express entry 'come to canada' quiz and it didn't even ask me for my education or grade analysis, just language questions (which I filled in with my predicted results) and my work experience, it then said: "Express Entry

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to inform you that I applied for an ECA through ICES (BCIT) and they evaluated BTEC level 3 in mechanical engineering as "Grade 12 (High School completion)".
Any other options??

Wow that's worrying. How long was the course? I have mine being assessed by both BCIT and university of toronto, I know people who's btecs came back as post secondary from Toronto so I would try them asap. I will let you know as soon as I have the results back from both, however I still have a long wait ahead of me.

Re: BTEC National Diploma & CES
It was a 2 years diploma in Mechanical Engineering. And ICES evaluated it as Grade 12 High school completion. What an utter waste of money.
I have written to them to re evaluate the ECA as it's a post secondary qualification.
Still can't understand how would a grade 12 qualification be equivalent to an engineering diploma :/
Please let me know the outcome of your ECA.

Re: BTEC National Diploma & CES
I have a letter sent from someone off this forum who had a two year btec assessed as two years of post secondary from UoT. This was in 2015 however so I hope it hasn't changed. I'd try them though, their waiting list is long however, 14 weeks

There's no transparency in their methods of evaluation.
It's basically a waste of energy, time and money.
I hope someone audits them.

Yap, i'd be more hopeful as you did the two years though, don't give up! I'm off to NZ in January so i've gotten over it
