Three major steps after initial assessment and eligibility are:
1. Language Proficiency Certification eg IELTS with atleast 6.0 Bands in each Module
2. Equivalency of degrees eg from WES
3. Soliciting Job offer

Assalam u Alaikum,

I need to know how to get my documents verified for WES

They require Inter certificate to be attested by IBCC, Karachi and IBCC requires that the first the certificate should be verified by the issuing board. I am from Karachi but I live in Saudi Arabia. My Inter is from Federal Board Islamabad. Should I get it directly verified and attested by Federal Board Islamabad or should I go directly to IBCC in Karachi?

Can anyone help pls...

Being a 2 profiles in the Job Bank has double chances to get a job offer and subsequently, being selected in EE.

Also, let me know that which occupations have the most chances to be picked / invited in Express Entry System.
Job offer depends on the geographical area

thank you.

thank you for your guidance.
by geographical area you mean that if civil engineers more needed at Toronto then Calgary then its more chances to have offer from toronto.

Secondly, how Province will pick, as there is another option of Provincial and have same number of points.

Please let me know that in which city/province have greater chances for Insurance person (claim/Underwriter).

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
WES accepts credentials from mostly public sector universities in Pakistan.

If your organization of study is not in WES's list, leave it. Go for ICAS or CES (Uni of Toronto). CES or ICAS will take longer, but they will do the job. Many Pakistanis' have received positive ECA report from CES. Perhaps from ICAS as well. ICAS's policies are more "rigid". CES accepts credentials from a wide range of organizations from Pakistan.

Many Pakistanis' who's organization of study is listed in WES's "Accepted list of Universities from Pakistan" have been able to use WES's services.
