Can I file a complaint against WES?

aslamh0216 Posts: 1 Posted On: 12/13/2020	aslamh0216 Posts: 1 Hello, I have submitted a request to WES for my IRCC ECA, I have a 2 years Bachelor of Arts Degree or 14 years of education and then 3 years professional law degree which is equivalent to professional degree in Canada or 17 years of education or Master Degree, WES has given me ECA equivalent to Canadian Bachelor Degree, I have send them many emails but they are not responding to any email, I have contacted to IQAS and ICAS and they both consider my degree as professional degree but unfortunately now I have wasted so much time and money on WES evaluation. WES has been behaving like a bully, they do not realize my future is hanging due to their irresponsible bullying behavior. My brother is a Lawyer in Toronto, I am just wondering if their is any regulatory body which I can contact to file an official complaint against WES? Also if a complaint can be made to IRCC in this regard as WES is authorized by them? In addition to that if WES services fall under Ontario Consumer protection? I want to use my brother as a last resort to file a case against WES in court for bullying people and ruining their future and I plan to cover it under class action lawsuit and I will definitely have more than enough people who will be ready to join my cause. If my message could be conveyed to WES by settlement.org I will highly appreciate that, in addition to that If I can get any above required information regarding a formal complaint process against WES, that would be highly appreciated as well. Thanks & Peace!

I finished BCOM from Mahatma Gandhi University and it is considered as 3 years bachelor's degree MCOM from Mahatma Gandhi university and it is considered as 4 years bachelor's degree. MBA from Indira Gandhi open university and it is considered again 4 year's bachelor's degree. My total year of education is 19.5. Apart from this, In the "educational terms used in WES evaluations" states that for a Master's Degree, a post-baccalaureate degree in a specified field, awarded on the basis of completion of coursework (usually 1-3 years of study) and often a written thesis or project. Based on this, in my case, I have done Master of Business Administration (MBA) and done a project under this course which is equivalent to 2 courses/course code: MS100 project work as per the Indira Gandhi National Open University mark list. My WES reference number is:4487951 I hope I am eligible for a Masters degree. But i have no idea, how to approach wes for the same. Could you please help me? Because I am lost a lot of points in express entry.

We appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information. We understand that the outcome of your report may cause concern. Unfortunately, we are not affiliated with WES directly and cannot relay your request. It is best that you contact WES for information specific to your case. Be prepared with your WES reference number and call the (+1) 800-361-6106 or use their contact form. You may find the Settlement.Org discussion thread Problem With My WES Evaluation Report particularly useful. Here is an excerpt: Submitting Application for Evaluations If you still have questions about the WES evaluation application submission, submit your questions at www.wes.or/ca/contact https://www.wes.org/ca/contact-us/ The fees are based on the two types of evaluations WES provides: basic Document-by-Document and detailed Course-by-Course. For the distinction between the two reports, visit WES website http://www.wes.org/ca/fees/evaltypes.asp https://www.wes.org/ca/evaluations-and-fees/other/ ICAP service, which stores your verified academic transcripts, and send them to institutions at your request, costs an additional fee per application. Submission of incomplete or incorrect documentation is the main reason your evaluation report might be delayed; we urge you to review Required Documents for your country of education (http://www.wes.org/ca/required/index.asp) and submit all the required documents. We hope that other users will be able to share their experience with you regarding status changes.
