I believe you are mixing two things here: holding a Canadian degree (whether it's master or bachelor) must be on-campus. If it is online or distance learning, then it won't count as a Canadian degree. This category is basically for foreign students who want to get their permanent residency after finishing their degree there, on-campus.
For international degrees though, all they want to see is an equivalent degree (decided by WES).
Also, iirc, I believe that some people reported that they got their NA degree accepted by WES. I think this might has to do with the Feb. 2020 decision, when the US Department of Education abolished the difference between National and Regional accreditation. I'm not 100% sure though.
With your last paragraph, what is the meaning of "being accepted by WES"? Cause I know for a fact, UoPeople is "accepted by WES" as a NA degree, but it says there "from an unrecognized institution", so not a Canadian masters degree equivalency.
