Applying without WES Assessment

Hello,

I made a profile for Expres entry since I was eligible now, but during the process I realized I have misplaced my Degree for Indian Bachlors and cannot get another one without going there, I'm looking through my mails and whatnot to see if a scanned copy exists somewhere but I want to know my options in case it's not available.

I selected 'no' in the WES assessment in the express entry form, can I still go through the process just without the Bachlors as points for education? I think if I get certain IELTS score along with 2 years my points can go above 500 even considering my Indian education as equivalent or lower than Canadian equivalent - 2 post graduate certificates. I think you only need WES for things that are higher than Canadian education.

Would this cause any problems?

I will try to contact both IRCC about it and my college if they seem to have a copy of my documents from the application process,

my main concern is that will it set off any red flags or something? Will they require WES or will this cause a problem?

I strongly suggest you first check whether you have minimum of 67 points to qualify you for EE.

Your post is not clear - did you have any education in Canada? Any education points claimed need to have ECA so you can’t even claim points for 2 post graduate certificates if it’s from abroad.

WES now has a tool for academic institutions to send documents electronically.
Check whether your school can do this.

It appears you don’t even have IELTS yet? So why not get all the requirement before creating EE?
