Hello, you will need translated document of the above mentioned degrees/transcripts into english language. these translated documents shall be notarized.

Further, practice for IELTS from cambridge books and book your centre in AEO (if available in middle east) otherwise go for British council :)

Yes, if you are getting the ECA done for your wife as well.

ECA by WES does not charge based on the number of degrees you submit for assessment. So it is advised to submit your educational certificates and transcripts (or mark sheets for each year/semester) for both Masters and Bachelors. These should be attested by the relevant authority of the university and sent to WES in a university envelope which has been signed, stamped and sealed. Either the university can send it or they can give it to you to be sent to WES.

is it Ok if the all dated in 2009 or I have to issue fresh one ?

Yes, logically your year of passing or date of issue of degree does not change (if I understand your question correctly). So it is ok, if the date is 2009. What matters is the certificate and transcript copies should be attested and placed a sealed envelope as mentioned above.

For more details you can refer to this link http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/educational-credential-assessment-eca-from-wes-step-by-step-guide-t394160.0.html

If you want ECA for your wife, then you need 2 ECAs - one for each and pay fees for both.

1) For each ECA, WES wants copies of all degrees, marksheets, diplomas etc. directly sent to them by the University. Some universities will attest the photocopies, place them in their official envelopes, seal the envelopes and stamp it and give the envelope to us. We need to send that sealed envelope to WES then.

2) WES asks only for documentation of the highest degree but if you want you can send them your Phd/Masters/Bachelors everything and they will evaluate all without any extra charges to you.

3) If your marksheets are not in English or French, you need to get them translated, notarized and send photocopies of both the original as well as translated version. Read on WES website for exact instructions for your country.

4) Originals must NOT be sent to WES, only photocopies

5) You can check the Canadian equivalency of your degrees at the following URL - http://www.wes.org/ca/evaluations/preliminary.asp (click on "start" button


Hope it helps. All the best.

[flash=200,200]http://It would be two separate charges or for both parties under one ECA cost? Logically, I would think it would two separate charges for two separate people...please clarify my ignorance :)[/flash]

The same can by the institution as well, if they are registered in autonomous college. What about the ones that are not registered? such as PG as well (MBA)

Correct. Husband + Wife = 2 people = 2 ECA = 2 x (ECA fee)

WES wants marksheets/degrees/diplomas directly from the issuer. If issuer was an autonomous college then it should be ok

thanks for the information

but what i'm saying that i have it in Arabic language
if i translate this one which is with me and send it to WES without asking my university to issue new one and seal it, dose it work in this case?
the paper has signatures and dates in 2009

the problem is that because of the crises in Syria i'm not able to get new one easily and i already have this one in arabic language after i graduated.

As per my understanding they will need transcripts in a closed envelope, sealed & signed by university/relevant authority. If it is not sealed in envelope then you will have to get that done. If it is sealed then you will not be able to get it translated. I read somewhere on WES website that they have a tieup with a firm which will get translations done.
