I submitted for WES my MBA transcripts in January 2012.The place of study was in Sri Lanka.And i got the transcripts posted direct.

They acknowledge receipt then they wanted again the transcripts to be sent from UK since my Degree was awarded by Uni.Of wales.

I got this too posted from UK on 23rd Feb.

Still they continue to ask for transcripts.

I personally visited the office.But cannot meet anyone except you leave a note.

They only sent mails.I am suffering for the past 5 months sending mails up and down.

Can you please tell us how to resolve issues with this evaluation service?

I am a double MBA (MBA from India & MBA from University of Wales UK) and posted all my documents to be evaluated by WES.

They send me a report stating my Indian MBA is not recognized and thus they will not evaluate my UK MBA to score.

I am very much confident that my UK University is recognized one.

As a matter of fact both are MBA degree’s equivalent as per country’s standards and also we would like to be aware whether our University is recognized or not as we paid to get all our documents evaluated.

I am really frustrated and stuck,please guide me how could I sort this situation and get the points that I actually deserve.

I am completely stressed and need help.

I intend to apply for immigration to Canada under the Express Entry system . However, a wrong assessment of my qualifications by WES can completely ruin my future.

I have more than 9+ years of post-qualification experience in high-profile corporates, at Higher Management position.

My qualifications (from India) are from a leading University:
Bachelors in Science (Hotel Management & Tourism) : 3 years, full-time

The Canadian equivalency assessment provided on my Bachelor’s Degree Certificate was reported as a “Degree from a Non-Recognized Institution” by WES.

I disagreed with this assessment and had earlier written a mail to World Education Services providing them with the resources to re-evaluate my initial assessment. In response to that I have received the following letter from World Education Services simply claiming that in their opinion my institution (Bachelor’s in Science - Hotel Management & Tourism) does not have a Canadian Equivalency of a Degree from a recognized institution.
To provide you with more information, I have graduated from an institution in India which was registered under the University Grants Commission of India with a “deemed university” status and the degree awarded by the university in 2008 was recognized & approved by University Grants Commission of India.

My institution was registered , approved and affiliated as a deemed university under the University Grants Commission of India
at the time when I enrolled in the university in 2005 & when my degree certificate was awarded in 2008. However, It has different body governing it now.
I have no other resource available to address this dispute on my credential evaluation and all my efforts (emails/web links etc. to confirm the authenticity of my credentials with World Education Services,Toronto have been overlooked by their evaluation methodology.

I am really looking forward to finding some help in resolving this dispute of my credential assessment and have made an attempt to communicate this matter to WES. I am sharing web links from the regulatory authorities in my country to verify my claim.

Please find the web link below which shows that my institution is still listed under The University Grant Commission of India.

Also sharing the link from University Grant Commission which does not have the name of my Institution as fake.

I am very much confident that my University is a recognized one.

I am really frustrated and stuck,please guide me how could I sort this situation and get the points that I actually deserve.
