Canada Immigration 2023: What Is The 1st Step? ECA: WES or CES? | Express Entry 2021 | What Is ECA? - YouTube

I hope all of you are fine in this pandemic crisis

and you would be staying home, like me

And you would be working from home

Today's video topic is what is ECA?

ECA: I will tell you about the background first

There are many people who want to immigrate to foreign country

For the Immigration settlement, They try a little researching on Google

They ask their friends too, but what happens at the end?

They go towards a Consultant

The consultant lures them in and charges his fee to start the process

Now, What is the process? It is something those people could have completed themselves

Everbody gives you his opinions, when you start asking your friends. They give you fragments of knowledge.

You get more confused with all of this.

This process is not a single step startup. It has a lot of Micro steps

When I say series of step, It means that

It has many baby steps

For example, Our last video of HEC Degree attestation is a micro step

HEC degree attestation is a preliminary step for the ultimate ECA step

This is all a series of steps and you could try at more steps at the same time

You only need to strengthen your research

Own your responsibility. That is a good habit

Firstly, we will talk about, What is ECA

Lets ask Google, first.

Google, tell us, that What is ECA?

Firstly, it gave us the link to the official website

This is the official page, Here you could find the definition

ECA means, we need to get our degrees verified from the host country.

The host country will, then, validate our degrees, check its' equivalency.

Pakistani or Indian Masters is not considered mostly in those big names of countries

South Asian education system is mostly 14 years for Graduations and 16 years for Masters. Which is not acceptable by Foreign countries.

That is why, they do not accept our Masters.

So, how do we tackle this equivalency problem?

We have different bodies for ECA

A few agencies give a particular degree, the required equivalency.

Each degree could be evaluated differently from ECA bodies

2 years b.com and 2 years MBA is hard to get a Masters equivalency for.

In today's video, We will not discuss all bodies but specifically two.

We will discuss their Pros and Cons

First agency, which we will be discussing, is called WES

The official Page

This is what WES means

WES has the biggest quality of quickest processing time

This is why, most consultants suggest you going to WES

Especially, the newbies always go for WES

WES is chose due to the quickest processing time

2nd benefit is, They validate all your degrees for a single fee

Other ECA bodies might charge for each degree separately.

WES charges only one fee

WES has current charges of $220

Plus 13% Tax, which is not inclusive

In 220 dollars, They attest all your degrees

From Secondary school to University

Only within 35 days.

Now we will talk about our second choice of ECA body

It is called CES

University of Toronto is a prestigious institute.

They provide this service called CES

Lets go to our screen, and see what does CES stand for?

CES has the biggest benefit for south asians

They provide Masters equivalency for a South Asian MBA

It is a result of the experiences from many

Procedure of CES will be discussed in next video

You will be notified about the video, If you have Subscribed

Do watch that video for the complete procedure of CES

CES main advantage being: Masters Equivilancy for South Asian students.

2nd pro: Documentation demand is not difficult

For WES, all degrees and certifications need documentation

Each degree from their respective institue. Giving Pakistan's examples.

HEC process, as discussed in previous video, stays with same precision

WES has a high ask for documentation

CES asks for the highest degree only

They charge double fee for two degrees

This is a drawback CES possesses

Ces has the biggest impact on Masters Equivalency.

WES follows their own framework

They evaluate better for the major countries' education

If you need Masters Equivalency, You need to proceed with CES

If you do not need masters, if you have relatives in that country

Then you may choose WES

This was the comparison between the two agencies

I hope you got the gist over the subject

We are breaking down the myths behind the immigration process

What are the baby steps of immigration

After HEC attestation, You send your documents to CES. In the meantime, You can start preparing for IELTs

IELTS is a different subject, which will be discussed later
