WES Timeline Update (June 2024 ) : I sent physical, attested copies of my bachelor's and master's degrees by mail. For my friend and myself, I submitted our documents to WES, which were received on March 28. It took 10 working days for them to enter the documents into the system and start the review process. The review itself took 20 working days and was completed by July 28. The status is now accepted, and an evaluation completion date has been provided. For those curious about the timeline, plan on about 2 months in total: 10 working days for WES to receive and enter your documents, 20 working days for the review process, and an additional 5+ working days for the digital PDF to be issued.
If you are reading this in 2024, I strongly recommend using another company to get the ECA. This is what WES should communicate publicly: "Due to a high volume of applications and temporary capacity challenges, we anticipate delays in the completion and distribution of evaluation reports." This is the message you will get when you call their customer service line. These temporary challenges have been ongoing for months. Customer service representatives are incapable of providing relevant information.
It depends on what you need the document for. I haven’t tried another company so I can’t really tell. I would recommend asking on WES’s socials if anyone has tried another organization. I remember some people posted on this topic a couple of weeks ago.
I started my evaluation with WES since May 5, 2024 I am still waiting for my evaluation, they’re still “analyzing my docs” I’ve called and the customer service representative stated that she would elevate my application for a status update but at the moment I have not received any confirmation of my documents or any other update. The second call she wasn’t even able to give me any information, any dates, besides that I need to wait and keep checking their website. If you want to cancel the process because they aren’t doing them job, they’ll charge you $52 fee. what really resembles a scam
WES is slow these days, probably because alot people are applying for WES, there is no other way, soon I am going to release new video on alternatives to WES
Great Video! I just have one question. I have bought the official transcripts (sealed and stamped in a envelope) with me when I came to Canada back in 2021. Can I just courier these as it is to WES for evaluation?
Hi, no! it needs to be from back home address. Also I have mentioned a form if you watch the entire video which is needed to be signed and sealed if you are sending on behalf of your university.
Thanks Raj for the detailed explanation, its very well covered. I have a question - How do I proceed if I am a final year student and want to apply for Aug 25 session in a US graduate school. Since I have not yet recived my degree (I will get that in June 25), the best that WES can recieve from my university at this stage is my marksheets for the prior years (not my degree and the final year marks). Does that affect my candidature at the graduate school that I am applying at? As a background, I am presently in a 5 yr integrated course, have finished all academic credits and am presently doing an internship as part of my 5th year.
Hi, In this case you have to communicate with your graduate school. Sometimes they do conditional admission but WES on the other hand is an evaluation agency, if you have not completed the degree, they won't evaluate.
In 'your education page' the row where it shows 'Name of institution' , should I write name of the college that I studied or the university to which the college is affiliated to . eg my university is Mahatma Gandhi university and my college is affiliated to it. when I type my college name it doesn't appear automatically.
Thanks for the video. Since I can get the report via email or on the site, why pay additional $11 for standard delivery? Also will the evaluation report be sent to my email from Wes or I can download it from my dashboard when I login to dashboard on the WES
Hi, Thanks for supporting the channel, not sure why they ask for standard delivery charges for electronic reports but they do. The report via email or on the site will be unofficial report and if you are applying for a university or immigration in any country, they will only accept report provided directly by WES and will not accept if you send them by email or send them a copy yourself. You can download the report from the site, sometimes you have to wait once you get email as the report might not be immediately available. I hope that helps :)
I have previously completed a WES evaluation for the United States and now require the same document for IRCC. Could you please let me know if WES can use my existing US WES reference number for the Canadian evaluation, or do I need to create a new profile for Canada and have the document evaluated again? Thank you for your assistance.
Thanks a lot! I have a question regarding the selection of education type. I couldn't find a "University Education" option; I only found "Higher" and "Vocational and Professional Education." I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering (Turkish diploma). What should I select?
I have my signed stamped copy of transcript which i have to send to WES on my own. Do i need to put my degree photocopy inside the envelope along with the academic records and get the envelope sealed and stamped before sending it to WES?
The documents required will be mentioned in your my account section once you login. You willl need it all signed and sealed along with additional form I have mentioned before you send it to WES
Very confused if we need to put WES number as well as ECA number or just the ECA number. As in Canada, PEBC which is pharmacy examining board of Canada provides ECA so that we can be eligible for FSW. If you can guide us with that. No information is posted on this anywhere!
If pharmacy examination board provides eca then why are you doing wes again, ultimately they both are ECA, so put whatever is relevant, whatever can show your education and not your pharmacy credentials will be important here, 4 years of degree eca is what we need to find.
I am confused by the fact that during the WES application, IRCC is added by default (and can't be removed) as a recipient. This is because in IRCC's Express Entry webpage, it's clearly stated and I quote: "Don’t ask the designated organization or the professional body to send us your report." (this can be found under Documents for Express Entry -> ECA: How to submit your report). Can you explain more about this? Is this a problem? Does that mean that WES will send the report directly to IRCC, electronically?
Hi, Electronic reports are never sent but rather authorized, so here WES doesn’t send them report but attach a report to your profile and gives IRCC authorization to look at it (provides them with view rights) so whenever you apply and provide your WES number, IRCC can immediately go look at it. What IRCC mean by not sending doc is the physical documents directly to IRCC, they don’t review like that. I hope that helps!
hello, im not able to upload final or provisional document in my account as shown in the website, as it is not showing any upload field, please help me with this
Thanks for the information What can I do if after creating my account and submitting I discovered one of the institution has to be changed How do I procceed
In case of sending transcripts to wes by myself, because my institution given me envelope of transcrips. What should I fill in place of authority section?
Hi, your university will have to stamp and sign that authorization letter I mentioned and you will have to send it with your transcript else it won’t be accepted by wes
In the initial stage(1), may I inquire if it is permissible for me to personally utilize a scanning device to capture an electronic copy of my academic certificate , subsequently proceeding to upload said document to my designated WES account?
Hello, could you please advise What if my university is a private little university which is not accredited on the list with WES to be able to send electronic transcript-- the only option is to send original copies to US by post mail?
Hi Raj, thank you so much for helping us out with this detailed video! It was very helpful. Could you please help me out with 1 question? I'm about to send my documents to WES for course by course evaluation since I'm planning to puruse my MBA in U.S. While filling the form, I noticed they're asking for "recipient address". Is that necessary to fill? Because the university that I'm planning to pursue my MBA from does not know about me because I haven't started any process nor did I initiate any communication from my side. So is it still necessary to enter those details and the name of the dept/person(s)? Could you please clarify this for me? Thanks a ton !!!
Hi, I am glad the video is helping you out. Please do help me by subscribing to the channel. Even if you haven't initiated the communication, you would know the details of the department you are going to apply and doesn't matter if you haven't initiated the process as WES sends electronic authorizations to the universities so they can check your report anytime when you apply within 5 years of its validity. So what you are doing is granting those universities access to your report. Doesn't matter if you later apply to them or not. All the best!
Thank you for the video much appreciated. Just for clarification, I saw where they wrote the school should send my transcript electronically... Does that meant I won't have to courier or mail them my transcripts and the form that needs to be stamp my school? Since my school can send it electronically. Just a bit confused there thanks
I know this video is 9 months old but please I would request you to answer my query: Regarding the "1. Degree Certificate (Final or Provisional)" it says you can upload clear and legible copy of this document but where will I have to upload this document?? I have watched so many videos and nobody has mentioned this. Please help!
My University is submitting my documents through courier. should I include my reference number in each my documents or only in front side of envelope??? According to the application form it should be included in each document and according to WES advisor it says including our ref. no. in envelope is enough. what should I do??
Thankyou Sir for the help. Question: Last year, I had my transcripts evaluated purposely for Canada(immigration) Express Entry. Is there a possible way to upgrade it directly into the one suitable for this purpose of Graduate Admission into an American University without having to start the whole app process all over again?
Hi, evaluating a credential for 2 different countries requires 2 separate processes, wes is just a medium used by both countries, its canada and US evaluation needs to be done separately as they are two different entities.
one question If i had completed my graduation from College which was under ABC university , then I have to mention college name or the university name ?
There is confusion regarding whether we have to also request the university to give degree certificate (signed & sealed) along with the transcripts (saw a youtube video) and is it necessary to make the university fill the Academic Records Request Form?
Hi Raj, Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge… I was wondering how I can evaluate my American degree through WES for express entry. I live in the USA, have a Master degree. Now I am trying to move to Canada using express entry. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello, I find this video meaningful and insightful, but I would love to know, how I can convert my wes evaluation in Canada to US. I need to evaluate my results in US. How do I go about this. Also, I have messaged Wes but I don't understand what they said. Thanks
Hi, WES canada and WES US is different entity and evaluates for different countries so you cannot transfer and unfortunately have to do the process again.
Hi. 1. If I don't select any "Recipient 2" institution to submit the file, is it possible to send my WES file later from here? 2. Which type of file I should send to WES? is it normal transcript or year by year transcript?
does the statement of marks(University Issued and Attested) should have marks or grades?...because my university issue marksheet which has grades(relative) in it not marks
I considered myself privileged to come across dis PNP.I would be more grateful if you can be a bit slow while explaining so we can assimilate , What financial requirements do I have to prepare with.Thanks,I love you being passionate to guide p'ple thru.
Hi, i am glad the video is helpful, please watch the video at 0.5x if its fast for you. The financial requirements are case to case basis depending on application, please reach out via email if need help raj@invest4k.com
Thank you for the information, where can i get academic record request form, will it be available on my account after the submission of wes application?
Good day Raj, thanks for the detailed information. I would like to ask if there are spaces to uploading other documents e.g change of name affidavit due to marital status, the situation here is that name is changed on intl passport but the old name still remains on the academic credentials. whats your advise regarding this
Hi, WES doesn't care about your passport, always use the names you used in academic credentials, affidavit will be needed for immigration purpose as WES will only use names in academic documents.
Hello Raj, I have concerns regarding a credentials bcz I have a 3 years of diploma as well as 3 years of degree certificate in Electrical Engineering but thing is that I didn't find a diploma option in "Which of these apply" menu. So how can I apply WES for both of the degree?
I wanna add another degree credentials (masters degree) for my current application which has only bachelor's degree credentials. Im trying to contact them. But there is no response. Please help.
unfortunately, I am not WES official authority, ideally they always pickup phones during their working hours, please try during the mentioned time on the site
Hello i have a question about my transcript. I want to start my further education in usa i am confused abut i start ma degree evaluation in IRCC or 1 st one
Thankyou Raj, this is really helpful. One question - I have done diploma and was admitted directly to the 2nd year of engg. How should I send the diploma certificate to WES if my college is already providing transcripts directly to WES?
Hi, I had similar case, you only need to send engg transcript, only provide diploma transcript if WES requests for it, you will get a 4 year engg equivalent, I am saying this by my own experience.
Hi, yes you can as long as you are applying for Canadian institutions - valid upto 5 years. After that just apply for duplicate report, so technically once evaluated, its useful forever.
Hi, Thank you for the informative video. I have a document-by-document WES for my immigration purposes in Canada and the immigration process is now progressing. So, I would like to know if is it possible to upgrade document-by-document WES to course-by-course right now for my NDAEB?
Hello sir I have different name in passport like in passport kaur is written but in academic only first name is written not kaur . What I have to do I made wes account with harmanpreet kaur is it ask question if in academic I will write first name harmanpreet
You can check their site for updates. Last I checked this morning while replying to your comment, they only have 1 global processing centre for all US and Canadian evaluations since Jan 2022. Please try reaching out to them if you are not sure on my information :)
Hi Raj I have few questions I did bachelors of business administration (computer applications) from Savitri Bai Phule pune University for 3 years but University only issued 2nd and 3rd years transcript and we have to take 1st year transcript from my own college i.e sangamner college. And pune University doesn't send transcripts to Wes electronically so should I post both the envelope in a big envelope and post it to the wes or should I fill a form by wes which you have mentioned in the video and get signed and stamped it from Pune University and then post it to the wes. Please let me know, I am a bit confuse and waiting for your reply, Thankyou
Hi, I hope the video was useful to you. If your university doesn’t send transcripts to WES, you will have to go through option 2 which you mentioned, filling form and signed by university. All the best!
Hi Raj , i am from Ghana with bachelor's degree and applying for Canada IRCC but when i got to the type of education in the add credentials option what is displayed there is only higher education, polytechnics, colleges of nursing and secondary education. Am confused which option to choose since i didn't see University education as indicated in your tutorials
Hi, Thats weird did you make sure you followed the same steps? If still confused please book an appointment with me, I will help you look through it, link is in description . Alternatively, you can contact WES and they will help you out on call.
I think I didn't follow the right process, I started the application before I watched your tutorials. After watching your video I realized that i wasn't on the right path but the my application had already been saved and I cannot undo it.
Hello brother I get good knowledge about wes My question is there After creating wes account what is deadline for payment. I created 10 day ago but in payment i have some issues because of debit/ credit card but i will solve it soon but i got refference number without payment. Is there any problem??
Hi, after you submit the payment your account will show options for uploading digital copy of documents while you prepare for official transcripts to be sent. The process only begins after you submit the payment, however there is no deadline to it.
Hi, while i was filling all my details. I reached to payment. But where do I have to upload my documents? Where will that option come? Once the payment is done, it will give me the WES reference number. But where to upload documents??
Hi, The upload documents section will be available in your account after you complete the payment. If you watch the end of the video, I do explain about it in detail.
This answers my question too. I couldn't see the document upload tab and was worried asked WES customer support, and their response was not at all related to my question. It was so disappointing. I am glad that you are making such informative videos.
Hi My institute is an autonomous college butnot listed in WES site . But the university my institute affiliated to is in WES site , should i give my university name while applying.
Your statement doesn’t align, its its autonomous and creates its own certificates or its affiliated and approves through university. You can check with your institution first.
Hi bro. I already completed my wes application and got my reference no. I have one doubt, what is QC (qualification check). This option is coming on my account page and my status is on hold. Do i need to opt for this service as well?
Hi, its a VIP service for which you have to pay extra, certain universities are eligibile for this options, it will help WES to directly validate your credentials without sending the sealed copy. You can opt for it if you are in urgent need of WES evaluation, its the fastest delivery option available right now.
Hi, please help me in query. I got my WES evaluation done in 2023 and now I'll complete my masters and I've to get the evaluation done for masters degree as well however I'm unsure of the payment. Do I need to make a new payment or the initial one would work. Please clarify 🙏
Hi, sorry I cant understand your question. For masters evaluation, if its first time, yes you have pay. The education evaluation is for a degree and not a person so you pay for each degree you want to evaluate, i hope it helps!
Hi sir I have doubt i got ECA report but name is not matching can I change name any option sir because my certificate name is mismatch surname given name please help me sir
Hi, If your name is different than what you have mentioned while filling form, please reach out to WES. If its same and you made a mistake, still they will be able to help you out as long as provide additional proofs to them, just send them email with your inquiry.
Good afternoon Sir, I have pursued my master's and bachelor's from different well-known universities. Now I need to evaluate both of my credentials. Can I get both degrees evaluated by adding a credential to the single WES application?
Hello Raj I am Reeshma Menon and I did my Masters from University of Mumbai... However in my education document as per Maharashtra Board I have my surname, name, father's name followed by my mother's name. So my question is how should I write this in my application as its not the case in my passport
Hi, do not follow passport here, its for education credentials evaluation, so the name should be same as degree certificate, later you can affidavit to prove its the same person.
@@invest4k Thanks a lot for replying....so as per the document...my first name would be reeshma and last name as Menon ...so should I add my father's and mother's name as middle name?
It is a diploma from University. But if I do select University education, I only get 3 options to select from, Bachelors, masters or Post Graduate doctorate. I have no option to input Diploma in there after I select University education.
Hey i applied for wes document by document evaluation, the upload section says upload is only for degree certificates or translations , I'm still pursuing my undergraduate what should i upload here ?
I have a question I have undergraduate degree evaluated by WES America however my Graduate degree was evaluated by WES canada, how can I merge both accounts?
Hi , in the home screen top-left corner, you have option to choose between US and Canada, choose accordingly. There is no way to merge those accounts as your evaluations are separate for separate countries.
@@invest4k if I want to evaluate my Master Degree under WES USA despite WES canada has already done my evaluation, do I have to raise another application where my university will send documents to WES USA or is there any way to link WES Canada with WES USA
Hello, my question is if i am a private student and my state name is mentioned in the degree instead of college name then what should i write in Name of the institute text box in wes while adding education credential.Private or state name.
I put my married name in my credential, which supposed to be my single name. What will happen then? Are they not going to evaluate my credential? Does the money i pay will go to waste?
Hii Raj i belong to Mumbai University,i just want to ask that,while filling application first we have to do the final payment and them again come back to university of mumbai attestation page ?or we have to first fill university of Mumbai attestation page by following steps and then do the final payment?i am bit confused in this process.kindly give your suggestions. Thanks
Hi Raj, I need your help regarding my WES application for Canada. I initially applied on 11/08/2023 but faced delays because I didn't have my degree certificate. It took over three months to obtain the certificate from my university. After uploading it to my WES account, WES is now asking for an additional fee to reactivate my application. What do you recommend I do in this situation?
Hello sir, thank you for the video. I have wes icap for Canada only. However , now I want to make one for applying US colleges. How to convert the previous to wes US
I am migrating to U. S. And want to do PharmD. In Wes site i saw verify my certificate with NSDC who will send the certificate to Wes after verified. Actually what they do? They will transcript?
Hi, If you are getting that option in your account, it means that a company called "Qualification check" will be able to expedite your verification process for additional cost and its way quicker than WES, ultimately allows you to apply to choice of your institutions quickly. All the best!
@@invest4k does that mean I don't have to contact the institution I did my studies to send the transcript ? and Qualification Check will do that for me?
Hi, My surname in my degree certificate is different from the one in my passport. Only the first letter of my surname is present in my degree certificate, whereas the full name is present in my passport. I added the details in the credential section as per my degree certificate. Will this cause any issue in the ECA process? Also will there be any problem in IRCC process?
Hi, for Wes its ok, you have to make sure the name in degree matches with your application. For ircc you will have to make sure that you attach affidavit which states that both name is the same person. I hope it helps, please subscribe if the channel is helpful.
Hello, I wanted to apply for WES evaluation and in my profile it says NSDC which is third party verification under statement of marks. I contacted my university and they have explained me the entire process and are willing to send my documents to WES. My question is should I go through NSDC since it’s mentioned on WES website for evaluation or directly ask my university to send my documents? Will there be any problems in doing so? Thank you in advance.
my video from mumbai university says Bachelors of Engineering (Computer Engineering Branch) so what should I add in WES? Bachelor OF Engineering or Bachelors of Computer Engineering?
Hi, I am trying to apply for WES for ECA for canada PR. I am currently in the United States. I have a Post graduation 's sealed transcript from Mumbai University and a bachelor's open transcript from my affiliated college. Now the question is, can we attestate our transcript and send documents to WES through Mumbai University's online website? Or do we need to go to Mumbai University? Thank you.
Only IQAS would be able to say that, its very case by case basis, depends on the university and courses taken, most likely they won’t. Please contact then for specifics, all the best!
I am here in USA and I have my original marksheets and degree here with me. Is this possible for me to submit the print outs of them through courier straight to there office? Or do I need to request my universities back in India to send my transcripts to them?
Hi Raj, thanks so much for such great info! Please please tell MBBS doctor can get his/her final Degree verified by WES!!! Is there any differences? Do we need to upload secondary education as well?
WES doesnt verify medical degrees, they will only verify if it was bachelors, masters, etc. All upload instructions will be available when you make the payment

Hi, your university will have to stamp and sign that authorization letter I mentioned and you will have to send it with your transcript else it won’t be accepted by wes
In the initial stage(1), may I inquire if it is permissible for me to personally utilize a scanning device to capture an electronic copy of my academic certificate , subsequently proceeding to upload said document to my designated WES account?
Yes, you can upload with your phone.
Hi in my account of WES it shows to fill degree and translations. My degree is in English. What is this translation do I need to submit.
no need to add translations, if its required, add blank doc.
Hello, could you please advise
What if my university is a private little university which is not accredited on the list with WES to be able to send electronic transcript-- the only option is to send original copies to US by post mail?
Hi, I have provided detailed steps if your university is not listed, please watch the full video to check the process.
Hi. Can u help me on how to change the education from college to university. I mistakenly added my college name instead of university name
Hi, you will have to contact WES and provide details for correction.
Hi Raj, thank you so much for helping us out with this detailed video! It was very helpful.
Could you please help me out with 1 question?
I'm about to send my documents to WES for course by course evaluation since I'm planning to puruse my MBA in U.S. While filling the form, I noticed they're asking for "recipient address".
Is that necessary to fill? Because the university that I'm planning to pursue my MBA from does not know about me because I haven't started any process nor did I initiate any communication from my side.
So is it still necessary to enter those details and the name of the dept/person(s)?
Could you please clarify this for me? Thanks a ton !!!
Hi, I am glad the video is helping you out. Please do help me by subscribing to the channel.
Even if you haven't initiated the communication, you would know the details of the department you are going to apply and doesn't matter if you haven't initiated the process as WES sends electronic authorizations to the universities so they can check your report anytime when you apply within 5 years of its validity. So what you are doing is granting those universities access to your report. Doesn't matter if you later apply to them or not. All the best!
@invest4k Subscribed! And Thank you so much for clarifying this for me !
Can I please use my US course-by-course evaluation I did in 2022 for the Canadian PR application? Or I need to start a new evaluation altogether?
Yes, upgrade it for immigration
Thank you for the video much appreciated. Just for clarification, I saw where they wrote the school should send my transcript electronically... Does that meant I won't have to courier or mail them my transcripts and the form that needs to be stamp my school? Since my school can send it electronically. Just a bit confused there thanks
Hi, No you wont have to do anything, school will send them transcript, just request your school, they will charge fees to send it to wes.
I know this video is 9 months old but please I would request you to answer my query:
Regarding the "1. Degree Certificate (Final or Provisional)" it says you can upload clear and legible copy of this document but where will I have to upload this document?? I have watched so many videos and nobody has mentioned this. Please help!
The option will open in your account once you complete the payment, please watch the video carefully i have explained.
My University is submitting my documents through courier. should I include my reference number in each my documents or only in front side of envelope??? According to the application form it should be included in each document and according to WES advisor it says including our ref. no. in envelope is enough. what should I do??
Each doc as well as envelope
Thankyou Sir for the help.
Question: Last year, I had my transcripts evaluated purposely for Canada(immigration) Express Entry. Is there a possible way to upgrade it directly into the one suitable for this purpose of Graduate Admission into an American University without having to start the whole app process all over again?
Hi, evaluating a credential for 2 different countries requires 2 separate processes, wes is just a medium used by both countries, its canada and US evaluation needs to be done separately as they are two different entities.
one question If i had completed my graduation from College which was under ABC university , then I have to mention college name or the university name ?
There is confusion regarding whether we have to also request the university to give degree certificate (signed & sealed) along with the transcripts (saw a youtube video) and is it necessary to make the university fill the Academic Records Request Form?
if you are sending the docs, any docs which needs to be sent should be signed and sealed.
Hi Raj, Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge…
I was wondering how I can evaluate my American degree through WES for express entry. I live in the USA, have a Master degree. Now I am trying to move to Canada using express entry.
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, you will have to do the same process as I have mentioned in the Video to do WES for express entry. There is no separate rule for USA.
Hello, I find this video meaningful and insightful, but I would love to know, how I can convert my wes evaluation in Canada to US. I need to evaluate my results in US. How do I go about this.
Also, I have messaged Wes but I don't understand what they said. Thanks
Hi, WES canada and WES US is different entity and evaluates for different countries so you cannot transfer and unfortunately have to do the process again.
Hi.
1. If I don't select any "Recipient 2" institution to submit the file, is it possible to send my WES file later from here?
2. Which type of file I should send to WES? is it normal transcript or year by year transcript?
1. Yes, duplicate report
2. Final transcript.
does the statement of marks(University Issued and Attested) should have marks or grades?...because my university issue marksheet which has grades(relative) in it not marks
Its fine, for evaluation of statement of marks, they will figure out, there should be an info page generally on back of marksheet.
I considered myself privileged to come across dis PNP.I would be more grateful if you can be a bit slow while explaining so we can assimilate ,
What financial requirements do I have to prepare with.Thanks,I love you being passionate to guide p'ple thru.
Hi, i am glad the video is helpful, please watch the video at 0.5x if its fast for you.
The financial requirements are case to case basis depending on application, please reach out via email if need help raj@invest4k.com
How to do WES if degree is completed from two different universities because of my transfer from one state to the other?
just use your final degree and transcript.
Thank you for the information, where can i get academic record request form, will it be available on my account after the submission of wes application?
in the description of this video and on the wes website.
Good day Raj, thanks for the detailed information. I would like to ask if there are spaces to uploading other documents e.g change of name affidavit due to marital status, the situation here is that name is changed on intl passport but the old name still remains on the academic credentials. whats your advise regarding this
Hi, WES doesn't care about your passport, always use the names you used in academic credentials, affidavit will be needed for immigration purpose as WES will only use names in academic documents.
My DOB on the report is incorrect and i have 15 days to submit my PR application. What should i do?
Explanation letter.
Hi
If my college is autonomous than can I send documents directly to the WES
Hi,
Sure, just follow the steps I mentioned and attach that additional form.
Hello Raj, I have concerns regarding a credentials bcz I have a 3 years of diploma as well as 3 years of degree certificate in Electrical Engineering but thing is that I didn't find a diploma option in "Which of these apply" menu. So how can I apply WES for both of the degree?
You only apply for bachelors, you will get 4 yr equivalent
I wanna add another degree credentials (masters degree) for my current application which has only bachelor's degree credentials. Im trying to contact them. But there is no response. Please help.
unfortunately, I am not WES official authority, ideally they always pickup phones during their working hours, please try during the mentioned time on the site
Hello i have a question about my transcript.
I want to start my further education in usa i am confused abut i start ma degree evaluation in IRCC or 1 st one
anything is fine, different countries.
Thankyou Raj, this is really helpful.
One question - I have done diploma and was admitted directly to the 2nd year of engg. How should I send the diploma certificate to WES if my college is already providing transcripts directly to WES?
Hi, I had similar case, you only need to send engg transcript, only provide diploma transcript if WES requests for it, you will get a 4 year engg equivalent, I am saying this by my own experience.
Hi, can I use my IRCC evaluation in the future to apply for higher education ig I have that code for institution to view at?
Hi, yes you can as long as you are applying for Canadian institutions - valid upto 5 years. After that just apply for duplicate report, so technically once evaluated, its useful forever.
Hi, Thank you for the informative video. I have a document-by-document WES for my immigration purposes in Canada and the immigration process is now progressing. So, I would like to know if is it possible to upgrade document-by-document WES to course-by-course right now for my NDAEB?
Hi, No its a separate process, there is no way to upgrade or change as far as I know. You can contact WES to get more info on it.
Hello sir I have different name in passport like in passport kaur is written but in academic only first name is written not kaur . What I have to do
I made wes account with harmanpreet kaur is it ask question if in academic I will write first name harmanpreet
Please create wes as per your academic records and not passport. Wes is not going to affidavit for you, thats a separate task
I forgot my course start date which I filled in the application. Is it something on which my application could get rejected?
No
Thank you for the informative video.. Is the mailing address for WES (US) to send the transcript in Canada!?
Hi, yes whatever is shown in your account is the right address, for now its Canada.
I applied for us evaluation but where i ve to send the documemts ?
They give only canadian address not usa address.
currently WES US office is in Canada so its correct address
Are you sure about it ?
There is one in newyork also
You can check their site for updates. Last I checked this morning while replying to your comment, they only have 1 global processing centre for all US and Canadian evaluations since Jan 2022. Please try reaching out to them if you are not sure on my information :)
Thanks
Hi Raj I have few questions
I did bachelors of business administration (computer applications) from Savitri Bai Phule pune University for 3 years but University only issued 2nd and 3rd years transcript and we have to take 1st year transcript from my own college i.e sangamner college. And pune University doesn't send transcripts to Wes electronically so should I post both the envelope in a big envelope and post it to the wes or should I fill a form by wes which you have mentioned in the video and get signed and stamped it from Pune University and then post it to the wes.
Please let me know, I am a bit confuse and waiting for your reply, Thankyou
Hi, I hope the video was useful to you.
If your university doesn’t send transcripts to WES, you will have to go through option 2 which you mentioned, filling form and signed by university.
All the best!
the transcript has to be translated by my school or can be sent to wes in the original language?
by school and also needs original to be sent
Hi Raj , i am from Ghana with bachelor's degree and applying for Canada IRCC but when i got to the type of education in the add credentials option what is displayed there is only higher education, polytechnics, colleges of nursing and secondary education. Am confused which option to choose since i didn't see University education as indicated in your tutorials
Hi, Thats weird did you make sure you followed the same steps? If still confused please book an appointment with me, I will help you look through it, link is in description . Alternatively, you can contact WES and they will help you out on call.
I think I didn't follow the right process, I started the application before I watched your tutorials. After watching your video I realized that i wasn't on the right path but the my application had already been saved and I cannot undo it.
Please book sometime, lets look into it.
Hello brother
I get good knowledge about wes
My question is there
After creating wes account what is deadline for payment. I created 10 day ago but in payment i have some issues because of debit/ credit card but i will solve it soon but i got refference number without payment. Is there any problem??
Hi, after you submit the payment your account will show options for uploading digital copy of documents while you prepare for official transcripts to be sent. The process only begins after you submit the payment, however there is no deadline to it.
Hi, while i was filling all my details. I reached to payment. But where do I have to upload my documents? Where will that option come? Once the payment is done, it will give me the WES reference number. But where to upload documents??
Hi, The upload documents section will be available in your account after you complete the payment. If you watch the end of the video, I do explain about it in detail.
It is an amazing video regarding the wes application procedure.
This answers my question too. I couldn't see the document upload tab and was worried asked WES customer support, and their response was not at all related to my question. It was so disappointing. I am glad that you are making such informative videos.
Can we do eca for trade certificate, and if yes, please provide me with the process for doing eca for trade certificate?
no you cant

Hi
My institute is an autonomous college butnot listed in WES site .
But the university my institute affiliated to is in WES site , should i give my university name while applying.
Your statement doesn’t align, its its autonomous and creates its own certificates or its affiliated and approves through university. You can check with your institution first.
Hi bro. I already completed my wes application and got my reference no. I have one doubt, what is QC (qualification check). This option is coming on my account page and my status is on hold. Do i need to opt for this service as well?
Hi, its a VIP service for which you have to pay extra, certain universities are eligibile for this options, it will help WES to directly validate your credentials without sending the sealed copy. You can opt for it if you are in urgent need of WES evaluation, its the fastest delivery option available right now.
Hi, please help me in query. I got my WES evaluation done in 2023 and now I'll complete my masters and I've to get the evaluation done for masters degree as well however I'm unsure of the payment. Do I need to make a new payment or the initial one would work. Please clarify 🙏
Hi, sorry I cant understand your question. For masters evaluation, if its first time, yes you have pay. The education evaluation is for a degree and not a person so you pay for each degree you want to evaluate, i hope it helps!
Hi sir I have doubt i got ECA report but name is not matching can I change name any option sir because my certificate name is mismatch surname given name please help me sir
Hi, If your name is different than what you have mentioned while filling form, please reach out to WES. If its same and you made a mistake, still they will be able to help you out as long as provide additional proofs to them, just send them email with your inquiry.
Is the Academic Records form mandatory? Or can I just take the sealed attested Transcripts and a degree from the university?
If your university is not sending docs then attestation is mandatory or wes won’t accept
Good afternoon Sir,
I have pursued my master's and bachelor's from different well-known universities. Now I need to evaluate both of my credentials. Can I get both degrees evaluated by adding a credential to the single WES application?
Hi, Yes you should be able to, give it a try and let me know :)
I Don't have last name, and in degree as well .. what to fill in last name section???
a "."(dot) should work.
Hello Raj
Can you make video if Wes report is expire and your pr process is pending then how to renew Wes report

Hello Raj
I am Reeshma Menon and I did my Masters from University of Mumbai... However in my education document as per Maharashtra Board I have my surname, name, father's name followed by my mother's name. So my question is how should I write this in my application as its not the case in my passport
Hi, do not follow passport here, its for education credentials evaluation, so the name should be same as degree certificate, later you can affidavit to prove its the same person.
@@invest4k
Thanks a lot for replying....so as per the document...my first name would be reeshma and last name as Menon ...so should I add my father's and mother's name as middle name?
not needed in that case
Thanks a lot!!@@invest4k
Can you please help? I applied for wes basic and now i need my documents sent to other universities how can i do that?
duplicate report.

There is a way to generate duplicate report to send to new institutions
Hello, can you tell me what to select in Type of education and which of these apply if I have a Diploma from India?
Hi, if its a diploma from university, select university education else your credentials are not eligible for evaluation.
It is a diploma from University. But if I do select University education, I only get 3 options to select from, Bachelors, masters or Post Graduate doctorate. I have no option to input Diploma in there after I select University education.
Thats weird , in that case try State board technical education.
Hey i applied for wes document by document evaluation, the upload section says upload is only for degree certificates or translations , I'm still pursuing my undergraduate what should i upload here ?
Hi, you cannot evaluate your degree without completing the degree. Document by Document evaluation will still need a completed degree
Can we apply for both candian and American universities with same WES from USA? or we have to perform seperate WES from Canada and USA?
I have show both the processes in this video, so please watch it completely to be able to understand the process.
Which name should I use for the name of institution on the application form: my affiliated college name or the university name ?
University, whatever is on your final degree
I have a question I have undergraduate degree evaluated by WES America however my Graduate degree was evaluated by WES canada, how can I merge both accounts?
Hi , in the home screen top-left corner, you have option to choose between US and Canada, choose accordingly. There is no way to merge those accounts as your evaluations are separate for separate countries.
@@invest4k if I want to evaluate my Master Degree under WES USA despite WES canada has already done my evaluation, do I have to raise another application where my university will send documents to WES USA or is there any way to link WES Canada with WES USA
No way to link, they are both completely different entities and works for different countries.
Hello, my question is if i am a private student and my state name is mentioned in the degree instead of college name then what should i write in Name of the institute text box in wes while adding education credential.Private or state name.
Hi, the name should be same as what you have in your degree certificate.
I put my married name in my credential, which supposed to be my single name. What will happen then? Are they not going to evaluate my credential? Does the money i pay will go to waste?
Hi, you might want to proactively reach out to them and confirm the misunderstanding to avoid any such things happening with your application.

Hi Raj,
I need your help regarding my WES application for Canada. I initially applied on 11/08/2023 but faced delays because I didn't have my degree certificate. It took over three months to obtain the certificate from my university. After uploading it to my WES account, WES is now asking for an additional fee to reactivate my application.
What do you recommend I do in this situation?
I have dont heard about additional fee situation, I would advice to reach out to WES and clarify over email.
Hello sir, thank you for the video. I have wes icap for Canada only. However , now I want to make one for applying US colleges. How to convert the previous to wes US
Co ask
I have us Wes now want to do Canada
Hi, you cannot convert WES, the equivalency goes by each country, wes canada and wes US is a different entity just the website is same
I am migrating to U. S. And want to do PharmD. In Wes site i saw verify my certificate with NSDC who will send the certificate to Wes after verified. Actually what they do? They will transcript?
wes will only evaluate if its a diploma or degree, to be able to work you need NSDC evaluation, once you have NSDC evaluation, they send docs to WES .

Very good information
Hi sir
I’m currently living in foreign my university is punjab university I trying to pay fee but it’s showing not paid
you will need international credit card in that case.
My college hasn’t received its NAAC grade. Will I still be able to go for WES evaluation?
You have to contact WES and ask
Hi Raj, how does Qualification Check work when you are doing Evaluation with WES
Hi, If you are getting that option in your account, it means that a company called "Qualification check" will be able to expedite your verification process for additional cost and its way quicker than WES, ultimately allows you to apply to choice of your institutions quickly.
All the best!
@@invest4k does that mean I don't have to contact the institution I did my studies to send the transcript ? and Qualification Check will do that for me?
Thats how its supposed to work, if you don’t mind, what is the country of institution?
Can online or distance masters degree from an UGC entitled and NAAC grade A+ university be evaluated?
Hi, you will have to check with your university, if wes evaluates university, they have some sort of process for them.
Hi,
My surname in my degree certificate is different from the one in my passport. Only the first letter of my surname is present in my degree certificate, whereas the full name is present in my passport. I added the details in the credential section as per my degree certificate. Will this cause any issue in the ECA process? Also will there be any problem in IRCC process?
Hi, for Wes its ok, you have to make sure the name in degree matches with your application. For ircc you will have to make sure that you attach affidavit which states that both name is the same person. I hope it helps, please subscribe if the channel is helpful.
Hello,
I wanted to apply for WES evaluation and in my profile it says NSDC which is third party verification under statement of marks. I contacted my university and they have explained me the entire process and are willing to send my documents to WES. My question is should I go through NSDC since it’s mentioned on WES website for evaluation or directly ask my university to send my documents? Will there be any problems in doing so? Thank you in advance.
Yes, please follow whatever wes suggests as it doesn’t evaluate all credentials
my video from mumbai university says Bachelors of Engineering (Computer Engineering Branch) so what should I add in WES? Bachelor OF Engineering or Bachelors of Computer Engineering?
Whatever is in your degree certificate
How about ICAP & Qualification Check?
Works
Hi, I am trying to apply for WES for ECA for canada PR. I am currently in the United States. I have a Post graduation 's sealed transcript from Mumbai University and a bachelor's open transcript from my affiliated college.

You can ask Mumbai university, how they do it.
Does IQAS evaluate a distance learning 2 yrs PDGM course as a MASTERS degree?

My college name is Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research - UGC & AICTE approved

Hi as i dont have surname on any of my official documents what can i do
Usually people try to use dot to pass through, you can contact WES if its not working.

Hi, No. they are different countries.
Hi Raj, thanks so much for such great info! Please please tell MBBS doctor can get his/her final Degree verified by WES!!! Is there any differences? Do we need to upload secondary education as well?
