I have sent HSSC Certificate + HSSC Transcript + WES Docs Req Form in Sealed envelope from BISE by MYSELF via fedex (Gerry's Intl, charged 2000PKR). It got accepted. I think only trick is to ask courier to place RESPECTIVE Board's name on envelope in sender field. If you do that there is no way for WES to know that it was not sent by BOARD.
Also, Tracking history doesn't matters, couriers often shift consignments from one city to other. So if you send BISE Rawalpindi docs from Karachi Fedex center, as long as envelope was sealed by BISE RWP, they will accept it. Although tracking will clearly show, item originated from Karachi
Brother, did you get your docs attested from IBCC as well? BISE RWP people asked me to attest the copies from IBCC before sending to WES.

Even after reading all these valuable feedback I can't understand the essential parts of WES processing. I've done the basics as below: Please help me out further for ECA for IRCC (Canadian immigration):

1. I've already attested and verified (original + photocopies) both Matric and Intermediate certificates and marksheets (Karachi Board) by IBCC and MOFA.- OK
2. I've already attested and verified my Bachelors and MBA degree by respective universities, HEC and MOFA. - OK
3. Now I made up an account on WES website. Now the problem comes, which are:

a) Filling up their form, WES gives no option or list for selecting matric credentials. How do I enter my matric credentials. I've successfully entered my Inter, Bachelors and MBA credentials. Is Matric credential not required?
b) Do I have to pay WES CD$ 330 first after submitting the form only after that would I get my WES reference no? Does debit card works as I have only debit card.
c) Are Matric and Interboard certificates sealed in two different envelopes or are both sealed together in a single envelope? Who would send it i.e. IBCC which is in Islamabad or Interboard office which is in Karachi?
d) WES asks separate envelopes for Matric/Inter and graduation. So when I send both to WES, obviously there would be a delay in sending both envelopes, would WES accept that as a single evaluation or two separate evaluations? And for that would I have to pay them twice?

I don't understand people mostly asking about matric, inter and degree attestation and HEC related. That I believe is the easiest part. WES processing is the hardest part. HEC has made it sooooooo easy after computerization. And yes even though you struggle in matric and inter attestation, the documents are still in your hands and fee is way less that WES fee. So i think these are the easiest phase getting attested by IBCC, HEC and MOFA.

Edit #1: Another thing is that WES lists inter certificates against each credential. That is for my graduate credential its asks for inter certificates, then also for my MBA it asks for inter certificates. So do I have to send my inter certificates more than once? i.e. for each credential I have to send inter certificates? Or only only inter certificate for all credentials (Grad+MBA) would be sufficient?

Thanks a lot

You sent Matric Inter docs yourself? using which courier??

My WES experience:

Equivalence Result:

3 years bachelor was recognized as 3 years bachelor degree
2 year masters was recognized as 4 years bachelor degree
2 years masters was recognized as a masters degree

The Process:
Matric and Intermediate Certificates
were verified by the respective board (Mirpur ajk BISE in my case) and given to me in a sealed envelope which I sent via courier myself. WES rejected it in the first attemp because the envelope seal had broken by the time it had reached Canada. I got the verification again and the documents were accepted by WES. Make sure the person sealing the envelope properly seals the envelope. I suggest taking a good quality envelope and glue stick with you to the board. Only the certificates are needed, I did not get my mark sheets verified seperately.

Bachelor and Masters Degrees: HEC (Islamabad) attestation was done using the standard procedure which is (1) Make online profile, fill in all your details (2) upload scans of documents for online scrutiny by HEC. (3) In 24 hours HEC will inform you to make appointment for the attestation visit. (4) Go to HEC on the appointment time, get the queue token from the machine at the HEC and wait for your turn (5) HEC officer will scrutinize your original documents and take two sets of photocopies for all documents (6) deposit fee on HEC bank window (7) Submit your documents and get the receipt with delivery time written on it.

After you recieve the attested documents (original or copies), go to R&I section (with a good quality envelope and glue stick) which can be accessed via main gate of HEC, they will inspect your originals and seal them in an envelope infront of you.

WES: It took 22 days for WES to finish the processing after they recieved all the documents.

I sent my Matric and Intermediate certificates only verified by the respective boards to WES and they were accepted. The certificates have the marks on them. You don't need to get the mark sheets verified seperately. Hope this helps.
thank you for your reply and did you get the matric and inter certificates photocopied from both sides front and back or only the front?

So as I understand it, attested matric and intermediate certificates are to be sealed enveloped separately and sent separately as well???
If that is so, then why WES gives no option to enter your matric or SSC or O'levels credentials on their website? It only allows to enter Inter or A'level credentials.
Also, did you pay WES on their website first, before sending the documents?

Thanks

It gives option, Secondary School Certificate is in the drop down list. Please check again.
WES fee must be paid to get the WES Reference Number which is required for filling WES Academic Records Request Form. This Reference Number is also required to be mentioned on all envelopes.

Thanks you sooo much Furqan. I've found Secondary School Certificate is in the drop down list but I can't select O' levels. I did O' levels but also converted into equivalency as per Interboard Karachi. So what should I enter? The form went like this:

Institution Type:
"Secondary School" (I selected from available options from the drop-down list) - OK
Which of these apply: "Attended A Pakistani Secondary School" (Now A'levels etc are listed there but O'levels isn't there, so I selected from best available options from the drop-down list)
Name of the Institution: Now there's no drop-down list but when I enter Matric or O'levels or Cambridge board it doesn't appears. But "Board of Intermediate Education" appears. Now what should I enter in this field?
Name of Diploma/Certificate: Secondary Education - OK

So that's the problem above. Now, Should I send my attested copies of O'levels certificate to WES via the British Council, Karachi, or send the Equivalent Certificate (issued by BIEK) to WES via the Interboard? Or should I send both?

Hello everyone

I'm new to this forum. My query is , my both master degrees are already attested by HEC Pak. While now I need the bachelor degree to be attested also plus it's transcript and both master degrees transcript.
According to new online attestation system of HEC , I registered and uploaded all documents. But problem is there was option for only that degree which was not attested,so I have to mark bachelor degree + transcript
But how can I add masters transcripts?? Coz there is no other option??
Should I wait first for attestation of bachelor degree??
Then I should again submit application for masters transcripts??
Regards

Hello Everyone,
I have a special case and hoping to get some help.
1. I did matriculation from S.B.T.E. (Sindh Board of Technical Education and certificate name is Technical School Certificate)
2. Proceeded with Diploma of Associate Engineer also from S.B.T.E. (It's a 3 year program and generally equivalent to Intermediate or H.S.C).
3. Proceeded with B.S in CS degree from Virtual University (4 Years)
I have got the BS degree attested and sealed from H.E.C. As per WES, they need H.S.C. certificates from Inter board office but since I don't have any such certificate, and I know for sure that B.I.E.K. will not touch my S.B.T.E. document at any cost, What exactly do I need to do so WES accepts my documents?
Right now I am thinking to get my D.A.E transcripts and certificates verified from S.B.T.E. and then submit them to IBCC. I then plan to send these to WES and will mention BIEK address in From section. Please note that S.B.T.E. will seal the envelope before I can submit those to IBCC so I won't be able to make any copies and also IBCC will attest new set of transcripts and seal them again (The IBCC sealed ones will not have any verification stamps from S.B.T.E., this is my understanding as they state on websites that board verified transcripts will not be returned).

Can someone please confirm if there is any mistake in above approach? Should I also do the same with T.S.C (S.S.C. from S.B.T.E.) documents as well?
Do you guys recommend I go for IQAS as that seems to have a simple approach than WES. But S.B.T.E. refuses to seal envelopes for anything other than IBCC (can't figure out why). Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
