When a PEBC Evaluation Is Denied: What You Need to Know and Do Next

At FACTS Transcripts, we assist thousands of students and professionals every year with international document verification for immigration, licensing, and higher education. One recent case brings attention to a critical issue—what happens when your credential evaluation is rejected?

Understanding the PEBC Rejection

In a recent evaluation outcome from the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC), a candidate's 2-year Diploma in Pharmacy from the Directorate of Medical Education, Chennai was deemed not eligible for evaluation.

The PEBC stated:

"We have reviewed your file. Unfortunately, a two (2) year Diploma of Pharmacy degree from Directorate of Medical Education, Chennai, does not meet our minimum Document Evaluation requirement. I regret to inform you that it was unsuccessful."

Why Was It Rejected?

PEBC requires that candidates hold a minimum of a 4-year Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy that includes comprehensive coursework, clinical experience, and recognized accreditation. A 2-year diploma, regardless of content, usually does not meet Canadian standards for professional licensing.

What Are Your Options?

  • Understand the gaps: Was it duration, course content, or lack of accreditation?
  • Explore bridge programs: Canadian institutions may offer pathways for foreign diploma holders.
  • Consider WES or other credential evaluators: If your goal is immigration, services like WES, ICES, or IQAS might still evaluate your diploma.
  • Talk to experts: FACTS Transcripts can help you gather additional documents such as MOI, course descriptions, and attestations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about sending transcripts to WES from India.

From the day you place the order to the day WES issues your ECA report typically takes 30–60 working days. The biggest variable is your university's transcript processing time — some universities issue in 1 week, others take 6+ weeks. Apply at least 60 days before you need the report.

No. WES does not accept transcripts sent by the applicant. The documents must come directly from your university or through an authorized service that picks up sealed envelopes from the university and dispatches them to WES.

The total cost is typically ₹22,000–₹30,000 for one degree. This includes the WES application fee (₹16,000–₹22,000), university transcript fee (₹500–₹3,000), and either international courier (₹2,500–₹4,000) or FACTS service fee (₹4,500–₹6,000).

If WES finds an issue — opened envelope, missing document, wrong address — they post the issue in your online account and pause processing. You must request fresh documents from your university and have them re-dispatched. This can add 4–8 weeks to your timeline, which is why first-time accuracy matters.

WES doesn't require an MOI letter for the ECA itself, but Canadian immigration (IRCC) and many universities accept MOI letters in lieu of IELTS/TOEFL. If your degree was taught in English, request an MOI letter from your university — FACTS can obtain it alongside your transcripts.

Yes. If you have a Bachelor's from one university and a Master's from another, FACTS can handle all of them in a single coordinated order, ensuring everything reaches WES in the right packaging with your reference number.

Some universities only mail to Indian addresses. In that case, FACTS receives the sealed envelope from your university and forwards it to WES via tracked international courier — fully compliant with WES's direct-dispatch requirement, since the seal is never broken.

WES ECA reports are valid for 5 years from the date of issue. If your immigration application is delayed beyond 5 years, you'll need a new evaluation.

WES offers a 7-business-day expedited evaluation for an additional fee at their end. However, the bigger time consumers are your university's transcript processing and international shipping — and those can't be expedited by WES. The fastest practical path is to use a service like FACTS that knows exactly which universities respond fastest and how to dispatch immediately upon receipt.

WES Canada (Toronto) is used for Canadian immigration, education, and licensing. WES USA (New York) is used for U.S. university admissions, employment, and licensing. The application process and required documents are nearly identical, but reports are issued separately for each — you cannot use a WES Canada report for a U.S. application or vice versa.
