ECA through WES

[swati2010]

hi all
i have just started my process for canada immigration through express entry. as the very first is ECA, i am struck with a confusion in between. whether we need to just apply for original transcript and ask our university to send the same to WES or we need to get it back from university and ask them to attest xerox copy of that transcript? i am confused because somewhere it is mentioned we have to send attested copy of trascript. because original transcript copy doesnt need attestation i believe.
can somebody please clarify this issue.
thanks

Your university can do one out of two of the following :

1. Create a sealed envelope with your transcripts and send it to WES.

2. Give you the sealed envelope with the transcripts inside and you can send the sealed envelope as it is, with your ECA reference number (after you pay the WES fee, they will give you think number) to WES via FedEx or any other international courier.

At no point should you open the sealed envelope. WES will reject it, if it is opened.

You can check with the registrar of examinations in your university for the process to be followed.

thanks for your reply. but what does the term attestation have its significance here then.

Where did you read about attested transcripts?

To the best of my knowledge, most Indian universities do not create transcripts in general.

These are only provided in case of foreign education or immigration. So I think they would already have the stamp and signatures from the registrar.

You cannot get copies made or have the copies attested since you cannot open the seal on the envelope.

Thanks.

I did what my husband advised (mostly) in reading and listening.

I've written a post about it somewhere, I'll share it. I was disappointed with the writing score though.

Anyway:

1. During listening, you are given 1 minute or slightly less to go through the questions in the start of each section. You must underline the main points in the question. This way, when you are listening, you will be able to focus on what to look for in the conversation and mark the answers.

This also helps in keeping your mind from drifting if the section is boring (happened to me during the exam).

If you get a map, make sure you draw the route in the audio with your pencil while you're listening. It will help with clarity.

2. Reading: My husband suggested that I should go through the first few lines of each paragraph and then look at the questions to start answering. His strategy worked for him but not for me.

I read a lot anyway and I read quite fast so I forced myself to read slower but read all the paragraphs and then keep underlining the main things that seemed important.

Once I was done with this, I read the questions and underlined the main points in the questions as well.

For reading, it is very important that you answer the fill in the blanks or any other questions with the exact text from the paragraphs. If you have to change the text in any way, that means it is not the right answer.

DO NOT supplement any information on your own or make any assumptions. Even if you think something in the text is wrong or different from what you know, for the purpose of the test, you have to stick with what the text gives you as information and nothing else.

I practiced using the Cambridge books and mostly used the Academic reading sections for practice because they are more difficult.

I just noticed your CRS has been reduced a little bit than previous. why so? and did you get an ITA once?

Yes. I made a mistake in interpreting my ECA and we scored 1 point extra so had to decline the ITA because we didn't want to misrepresent. In the mean time my husband also turned a year older so we lost 6 points in all. Now waiting for the next draw.
