Need clarification in the documents to be send to WES for ECA.

Hello wonderful men and ladies, like many of you I too wish to migrate to Canada in near future and I have started my preparations for it. I wish to get some clarity on the ECA to be done through WES. I have registered with WES and have received the reference number. I am having some confusion regarding the documents to be sent to WES. Hope you all will be generous enough to help me overcome my dilemma. To give a little background about myself and the reason behind this post, I hold a Master’s degree in Management studies and I am hoping to get a transcript for submitting to WES.

I read in the WES website that they need Bachelor’s degree documents as well for completing the evaluation, so my question is,

a) Do I have to get transcripts for both Master’s and Bachelor’s? I read somewhere that we need to get transcripts only for our highest degree. If that’s the case then will it suffice if I send plain xerox copies (without any attestation) of my bachelor’s degree along with the original transcript for Master’s?


b) Do we need to do a separate attestation for our degree/marklist along with our application for transcript? I am asking this because when I went to my university and asked for the instructions to apply for transcripts, they told that I will have to get the degree certificates and mark lists of both Master’s and Bachelor’s attested as well while applying for transcript. For the attestation they are charging a hefty fee as well.

It will be great if you could help me with my queries as I am desperately looking to have some clarity on the whole process. I am posting here in this forum for the first time so kindly ignore if you come across any mistakes,Thank you.

Depends on your country of education. If its India,

Then you will need to send both Bachelors and Masters transcripts to WES.

No attestation, visit University and ask for transcripts form.

You should if she is accompanying with you, since her degree evaluation will give you 10 CRS points.
On the side note, if your CRS is already crossing 440, then no need.

Technically my name has not changed. It is just that in certain documents, my name is given in full and others only initials are mentioned for surname

Talk to WES regarding that. Use this link:
https://www.wes.org/ca/contact-us/
This is the response I got from WES. This is more confusing. Not sure how to proceed ahead. I'm sure many Indians would have had this issue. Could someone please let me know how you went ahead?
"World Education Services (WES) issues evaluation reports with the name indicated on your application. Our report will also indicate the name on the academic documents we received for each credential evaluated.
In order for WES to do the evaluation, the applicant will need to put the name which is on the school documents on the application. Otherwise, we will not be able to evaluate the credentials. The applicant will need to provide to the recipients any proof of the name change."
