Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) - ACCA

Now in the age of globalization, we need to get an equivalency certificate from different countries where do we want to go to study or for work. In this way, we can save our time and can recognize our education /qualification which we got in our home country or abroad anywhere in the world. There are some institutes, i.e. World Education Services (WES) which provide the services of Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for immigration or work or study with a fee. WES provides 4 years bachelor equivalency certificate if you are a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

For ECA through WES there is a procedure (which is very simple) to get register (make an account) at https://www.wes.org/#get-started with WES https://applications.wes.org/degree-equivalency-tool/, provide all required information e.g. Name, qualification against which you need ECA, institute name, registration number, graduation date, etc. there is a fee as well of CAD 220.00 & CAD 7.00 for standard postal charges, so total CAD 227.00 WES will provide a reference number.

Reference number provided by WES along with an application which we filled & sent to WES to be sent to ACCA Global UK through email at members@accaglobal.com to instruct to send your documents (membership & subject-wise mark sheet) to WES at the address provided on the application.

What documents do you require, all information available here https://www.wes.org/ca/required-documents/.

ACCA will require a week or more to send to WES & WES requires 6 weeks (working days only) to verify & evaluate the submitted documents. WES always keeps you updated about the progress of the documents after it received.

Once the evaluation is done, you will receive an email from WES with a soft copy of the evaluation & confirmation that one ECA have been sent you through post & another copy to the Canadian immigration department http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp.

This ECA is valid for 5 years.

Please be noted, you do not require sending any copy or original document to either ACCA or WES.
