WES Canada for Global Education Equivalency

WES Canada stands for World Education Services Canada. It is an organisation that evaluates foreign educational credentials and compares them to Canadian educational standards. A WES evaluation report is often required for study permits, work permits, and skilled immigration applications to prove that your international qualifications match Canadian degree or diploma levels.

To get a WES Canada evaluation, you typically need your degree certificates, mark sheets or transcripts, and proof of graduation. Some institutions also require official letters from your university. Documents must be sent directly by the institution or verified according to WES guidelines. Requirements vary by country and credential type.

WES is one of the most recognised organisations to issue an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA). ECA is the type of report needed for immigration, and WES is the service provider. Choosing WES means selecting a trusted and widely accepted ECA provider, especially for Canadian immigration and licensing processes.

To get your WES report, register online with WES Canada, choose the type of evaluation you need, and submit your application. Then follow WES instructions to send your documents or have your university send them directly. Once WES receives and verifies your documents, they assess your credentials and prepare the evaluation report.

WES Canada fees vary based on the type of evaluation and delivery options chosen. Standard evaluation fees are set by WES, and additional charges may apply for express service, courier delivery, or extra copies of your report. For exact fee details, check WES Canada’s official fee schedule.

Missing signatures, unofficial copies, or institutional requirements not met can also delay or reject the evaluation. Always follow WES’s document submission guidelines closely.

A WES evaluation compares foreign degrees to Canadian standards, focusing on educational equivalence for immigration or licensing. Standard certificate attestation verifies the authenticity of original documents for legal use in a specific country. WES does not legalise documents; it evaluates and confirms academic level comparability.

To send transcripts from the UAE to WES Canada, follow WES document requirements. Some universities send directly to WES in a sealed envelope, while others may require you to provide certified copies. Always check WES guidelines and your university’s process to ensure documents are sent correctly.

No, WES does not require MOFA attestation for document evaluation. WES typically accepts documents sent directly by the institution or in the form specified on your WES document checklist. MOFA attestation is separate and not usually needed for the WES credential evaluation process.

WES Canada’s standard processing time varies based on document receipt and verification. It generally takes several weeks after WES has received all required documents. Expedited options may be available for an additional fee. Delays can happen if documents are not received correctly or need additional verification.
