Guys I wanted to know which service I should choose for WES, they provide two options, one in which result are send by normal post other with tracking id.
my question is that do we really require hard copy at any stage, secondly I wanna know your opinion,what you people suggest regarding this
 
Time is gold, so I don't mind spending more to get the courier service. It costs around CAD 300+ but at least the results get delivered faster.
I believe WES will always provide a hard copy for the first assessment so there's no way around that. If you are applying for Provincial Nomination and they require a copy of the WES results, you can request for a duplicate request and WES will just send an electronic copy of your results to the province.

You can create your profile when you have the electronic version of your assessment because all you need is the reference number.

To me, it makes no sense to pay for expedited shipping for something that you don't need urgently.

As LokiJr01 mentions, it may be a different story if you're applying for a provincial nomination where you actually may need the hardcopy, but for the normal EE process this is not required.

Hard copy is never needed for EE? sure?

It is possible that in some odd cases they may want to see a physical copy - I can't rule that out 100%.

But I'm not saying don't get a hard copy. They will always send you one anyways. What I am saying is that there is no reason to pay a premium for expedited shipping of your hard copy because it will be months down the track before they actually request a hard copy (if they ever do, which again is not likely at all).
 
Well I started my WES process over 2 months ago and received tge results by email in about 20 business days like they said, but i opted for the regular mail delivery and until now nothing came, probably lost in mail. That's why Is suggest a courier for others, I'll probably request another hard copy if i receive ITA

But even if you get your ITA, you can just upload the soft copy they sent you by email if you want to upload something (which you don't have to do). It is completely identical to the print out (save a stamp they put on it), so you're paying again for a print-out of a document you already have electronically which ironically you will scan and upload.

In the extremely unlikely event that CIC actually want the original hard copy report mailed to them (which will only happen once your application is already being processed), that would be the point in time to order a duplicate copy from WES and pay for expedited shipping.

I have not heard of such a case yet.

But again, it's up to you. If it gives you peace of mind, then by all means pay for the extra shipping. I think it's unnecessary.
 
IELTS and ECA are the two requirements that take a lot of time to complete so if I were you, I won't skimp on these.

Besides, for the first assessment results, you will get a physical copy - there's no option to just get the soft copy at a lower price.
If you're worried about the shipping cost, unless you live in a developed country, go for the courier option - it's faster, more transparent, and more efficient. Save yourself the trouble :)
