You can try International Credential Assessment Service of Canada(ICAS), they charge $200cad per Credential Evaluation and mind you, World Education Services(WES) that you complained that is expensive, is cheaper @ $180cad

Congrats on your PR.

You 'll make clean and clear photocopies of your 2004 degree and for your 2006 MBA as well.
Note: DO NOT SEND THE ORIGINAL COPIES OF YOUR CERTIFICATES, PHOTOCOPIES ONLY!!!

Also, you'll contact the institutions you attended for your degree and MBA for a sealed transcripts each to be sent by the schools directly to their(either WES/ICAS) address.

Furthermore, you'll make an online application on their website before sending any of the above documents so they can use it to track and process your order.

Kindly let me know your country of residence so I can advise you even better on the complete documents to send.

Best of Luck!!

About the University you got you degree from, kindly get in touch with them on phone if you can request for your transcript online from them. If possible, then you'll fill an online transcript request form on the school's website and make a payment online as well 'cos they will be the one sending it directly to WES/ICAS.

Or you can download and print a transcript request form from WES/ICAS website, fill it with black pen and mail it with money order/bank draft to the school. But you would have to contact them first if you can proceed with this option before doing so.

All the best!

Hi i'm new here, and i'm in the process of getting my education assessed.

I know WES (World Educational Services) is recommended by CIC to do the assessment.

The dilemma is should I get my assessment done now with WES??? I'm afraid that CIC might change their recommended agency into another, then my money and time will just be wasted.

Any ideas? thanks!

DONT GO FOR ICAS,
BECAUSE IN ICAS YOU HAVE TO SEND YOUR ORIGNALS MARKSHEET, DEGREE AND OTHER TO ICAS, (AT YOUR OWN RISK) THEY DONT EVALUATE WITHOUT "ORIGNALS"
BECASUSE VERIFIED, TRUECOPY, NOTORISED IS NOT VALID AT ALL.

I HAVE PAID THEIR FEES,BUT STILL WITHOUT REPORT.....

GO FOR WES

Hello members,

I have to get my ECA done and I have come across 3 assessment bodies: WES, ICAS and CES

I had a look at the WES website but unfortunately my university is NOT listed on their website.
They say that they only access degrees from certain universities in Pakistan and when I downloaded the .pdf from their website, my university is not present.

Although my university is recognized by the HEC in Pakistan. [karachi Institute of Economics and Technology]
What should I do?
I have emailed them but no reply yet.
I plan on calling them on Monday to find out.

Until then, please share any similar experience.
Advice shall be appreciated.

Thanx
