Acceptance for online master's for WES Canada

[Petrikor]

Hello, this is my first post here so appologies if this has been posted before.

I have applied for immigration to Canada and i want to study for an online masters degree to increase my points, one of the cheapest and most convenient is one at BEBS (Barcelona Executive Business School) but i'm not sure if this program is accepted by WES, here is the link for the program.

Can anyone provide more info if this course can be considered as an equivalent to a Canadian degree? maybe a post graduate certificate?

This looks like it would give you a Titulo Proprio and NOT a Titulo Official. WES counts these as unaccredited Master's degrees. ENEB is cheaper still and has been discussed a lot in the graduate section. See https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/ENEB for a condensed version of what has been discussed. For immigration purposes, a Titulio Propio is not going to work.

FWIW, at €4800, that's pretty expensive. Depending on where you're located now, you could potentially get a recognized Master's degree for not much more, perhaps even a little less.

Thanks a lot for your reply, i had a feeling that this was recognized, glad i did not go through with it.

Well i'm located in Lebanon, Master's degrees here take a minimum of 2 years, but i can't wait that long. 
Could you perhaps point me to some of the recognized degrees you mentioned?

Try going through this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-12-months

It's not mentioned in that thread, but UMPI has a competency-based MAOL. That might be a good option for you. There is at least one thread by ashkir about his experiences with that degree, but apparently it's changed since he went through. Finishing the degree in 6-8 months sounds fairly reasonable now. 6-8 months would work out to be $6000-8000. If you managed to finish in 4 months (2 sessions), it'd be $4000.

There are a few other providers than UMPI, you can also check out UMASS Global (previously known as Brandman), then there is Purdue Global and Walden... I highly suggest you decide on what type of Masters degree you're looking for (is it just Business or do you have another in mind?), plus update us with more details about yourself by providing more details on your commitments, budget, jobs, more than the info in your previous threads by following this template. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

UMass and UMPI use the same materials for their MAOL degrees. But I think UMPI has toned down the courses somewhat while we haven't heard anything like that about UMass.

well here is my info:

Location: Beirut, Lebanon
Age: 38
Budget: preferrably around USD 10,000
Degree needed: a master's or postgraduate degree preferrably in supply chain and/or logisitics as i have more than 10 years of experience in this industry. Degree is mainly needed for points for immigration to Canada

I currently hold a 4 year bachelor's degree in international business from a local university that has already been accredited by WES with a GPA of 2.5

i have checked out the UMPI MAOL degree among many others, seems that they require a 3.0 GPA or 2 letter of recommendations which i don't have at the moment. i'm also looking for something a little straightforward that i can go through as quickly as possible and i came across the MSML at WGU.
I would like to know how realisitc it is to finish these degrees in 6 months or maybe 12. how hard is the material?
