Hi!

I urgently need help regarding the verification of my o'levels and a'levels results.
I am from Pakistan and applying for my ECA through WES.
Only WES requires to send in the secondary education documents aswell, whereas CES and ICAS do not require secondary education documents.

so,
FIRSTLY, if i apply through WES and need to submit verification of my O'levels and A'levels from the University of Cambridge, what is the procedure? If anyone has been through it, PLEASE REPLY.

SECONDLY, since ICAS and CES does not require secondary education documents, will it be fine if i get my ECA from either of these and not WES to avoid the hassle of getting my o'levels and a'levels results verified?
Is there any difference between WES,CES & ICAS besides the time they take and their cost?

PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS URGENTLY.
I'll be really grateful If someone could help.

Thanks
 
I have been going thru the same scenario.

I actually wanted to get my O' levels equivalence from IBCC but they asked for Cambridge verification, which I found out is thru British council & it takes 28 days and the cost is 2800Rs per certificate.

Secondly,I don't think so there is any problem in getting your ECA from ICAS.
 
you dont need cambridge verification if you have your original result which is not laminated with plastic.
I just got my A levels equivalence from IBCC and they did not ask me for my cambridge verification.

The procedure ahead of this is confusing anyways. Whether WES accepts equivalence or not.
I havent sent my docs for ECA yet. lets see
 
Hello mia88 and Knowme,

I have a feeling that you guys have misinterpreted the information in WES website. What visa category are you applying for??

You only need to send the highest completed credential to WES for ECA. So if you have completed Bachelors degrees then no need to go through that hassle of sending O levels n A level certificates though British Council.

Hope this helps.

Hi!!
No I emailed them to ask about this and for Pakistan they require all degrees and transcripts, both secondary and post secondary.
I am applying under NOC 4011.
It doesnt matter which NOC we are applying through, but its the requirement for Pakistan.

no bro,
if you are going through WES you have to provide all documents from SSC to BA/Master/Ph.D etc so it is must. be proactive and arrange all documents according to the procedure to save your time. SSC/HSSC are "MUST" for WES..............
 
Hello F_S_W

Yes you are right the package which need to be sent from the candidates side must contain photocopies of all the documents from SSC to your highest credential.

I am actually talking about the credential which is to be sent from the institute directly. That is only applicable to the credential on the basis of which you are claiming points for immigration.

Best of luck

Dear ESZB,

Do we need to attest and send the "originals" or "photocopies" of the educational certificates to WES? As per my understanding we only need to get the photocopies attested and delivered to WES. Am i correct? Meaning photocopies of all the following: O-Levels, HSSC, B.Com and ACCA.
 
go with CES. they need university degrees verified and sent directly. but the only thing is CES is taking 1 month or so

Sorry for late reply. Hope you got the answer already. Yes you got it. You need to send attested photocopies.
 
For most countries of the world (including India and Bangladesh), you don't need secondary school certificate if you want WES to issue ECA for your higher education. i.e. no need for 12th grade certificates for bachelors degree, and no need for bachelors degree certificate for Masters degree.

........ BUT ........

If you are unfortunate enough to be from Pakistan, you will have to send your SSC/HSSC/Bachelors/Masters/PhD certificates. All duly attested from IBCC and/or HEC.

Apparently, CIC loves giving Pakistanis extra rugrra

Pakistan Zindabad :P

I saw an option of directly filling form 7 a tye Cambridge international examinations website where you have to pay 36 GBP and they will send via courier ( seperate charges) to a third party verification of your docs. why dont you also check that out. i am confused myself.
