    Is there a requirement for transcript for individual marksheets to apply for Canada PR and does the CRS score increase if both the primary and spouse apply for ECA.

      What documents you need to submit depends on your University. Spouse ECA will get you a few points AFAIK. You can try calculating your score using the CRS calculator with and without spouse ECA and compare the scores.

        No, they don’t need any ID to initiate the process.

    Hi Raj,

    I am about to to send my documents for WES for Canada PR.
    But I am facing an issue.

    I completed BCS + MCS (3 years bachelor + 2 years master degree in computer science )from a college affiliated to university of pune (From India).
    In 1st year of BCS I had 2 ATKT, I appeared for backlogs and I passed
    in those subjects in 2nd yrear of BCS but Univercity changed the rule at that time.
    1st year of BCS is handed over to colleges (i.e. Result card generated by college
    for FY BCS. but the exam is conducted by university of pune)
    So I have 1st year marksheet from my college and rest all marsheets till MCS are from university of pune.

    I got to know Uni. Pune will give me transcript only from 2nd Year BCS.

    What to share with WES for 1st year BCS ? college marksheet with college
    principle attestation ?

    My college is not autonomus.

    I am confused what document to share with WES for 1st year of BCS

    Kindly share the advice for this.

    Thanks.

    Hello Raj,

    First of all great job 🙂

    My query is, i live in Dubai and i need to get transcripts for WES, is there any legitimate online service you’re aware of which can provide me help with that? (like annauniv.itranscripts.in).

    Thanks in advance, have an awesome day!

      Just happened to visit your LinkedIn profile and found out that you’re an IT guy like me, would love to know the IT career trends in Canada in your perspective, am currently concentrating on Virtualization and cloud (Citrix, VMware, Azure) but would prefer master one key area.

      Looking forward for your insights!

      The online process has been discontinued as far as I know. The process is now all manual from what I hear.

      You can consult with the members here – they’ve successfully obtained their transcripts. Just make sure if the process is same for student visa. Good luck.

    Hey Raj,
    Does do the education assessment in order to make our education level equivalent with education in others country(Canada),right?My school marks don’t impact the assessment,do it?
    Thanks

    • rajkamalm
      July 8, 2018

      They don’t.

      • Simran
        July 21, 2018

        I don’t have degree yet. So if i want to assess only my school certificate to WES,can it?
        Thanks

      • rajkamalm
        July 21, 2018

        But what’s the point? You don’t get any points for pre-secondary education. You only get points for degree, diplomas etc.

        I move there because i married with canadian so in order to work there i think i should assess my school certificate to WES,can it ?does my school marks matter for assessment or not?
        Pls reply
        Thanks

      • rajkamalm
        July 21, 2018

        Oh, okay. No I’m not sure if that’s going to be useful for work but if you want to pursue studies here, you can get an evaluation from WES. That would be a course-by-course evaluation (generally) for education but don’t quote me on that.

        ECA is just for the purpose of immigration. If you want an evaluation for something else other than your immigration application, it has to be a different kind of evaluation and not ECA.

        Do you think if i want work there but not continue my study only job with high school graduation need my education get assess too or they will let us work there without proof of education?
        And,if they ask for proof of education can i go throught WES to get it assess?

        Hi Raj, I had sent my documents to WES and they had put my application.on hold citing verification from university. Upon cross checking with the institution I found that they have already responded to WES request. However, the application status still shows ‘on hold – we are waiting for your institution to respond’ . It has already been 4-5 days since the University acknowledged and responded to WES, and I have checked with WES regarding the status (but no response).

        Can you suggest something. Thanks.

      • rajkamalm
        June 26, 2018

        Give it a week. If the status still doesn’t change, use their support form and ask them for an update. Also let them know that you’ve checked with your University and according to the officials there, they have already responded to WES.

      • Ruchir Joshi
        July 1, 2018

        Hi Raj, Please check if you could advise here.

        I have checked with my university regarding confirmation mail to WES (for verification) and they have already sent an email. However, as per WES they haven’t received any response. It has almost been more than a week. Have already asked WES to provide any other correspondence email id.

        Is there anything else I can do here ?

        Regards
        Ruchir

      • rajkamalm

        Well, I’m not sure. You could probably come l contact them using their support form and ask them for a status update.

    Hi Raj
    I have done B.E. Regular ( ECE ) with Anna University and M.B.A distance with ( Coimbatore Anna university ) .
    Transcripts seal can be collected in Anna university campus that what they informed me in Coimbatore Anna university as well as the transcripts department inside Guindy Anna University Campus

    I am planning to apply PR via Express Entry to Canada , I am planning to Apply as Masters Degree , while submitting the documents for transcript seal do i need to submit BE Degree Scan copies as well or else MBA degree is fine ?

    I was informed that transcripts will be given in hand , Immediately. is that true ?

    Should I take 3 DD , one is DD for 500Rs , second is for 200Rs and third is for 200Rs

    Kindly guide me

    • rajkamalm
      June 21, 2018

      Again depends. Sometimes Masters degree is evaluated to a bachelors or a PG Diploma. So it would be best to get both evaluated.

    Contact your University/college or your seniors to get that information.

    Dear raj,
    I completed my masters in microbiology.nw i want to do WES.
    Colleges are different for bechlor and master but university same.
    Nw how can i get transcript from them?
    They give me transcript for all marksheet with sign and stamp but not in envelop.

    • rajkamalm
      June 5, 2018

      To know that, you have to ask your University/your college seniors. I wouldn’t know the process of getting transcripts from your University. Most universities provide transcripts in envelopes.

    Hi Raj,
    Writing you to get advice on WES ECA for IRCC. I have a Mining Engineering (B.Tech) and an MBA degree earned under a 5 year dual degree program from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. (Second Class – and Two Separate Degrees). While Filling ECA form, I need to add my certifications (in Personal Information >> My Education Page). Should I fill two certifications (B.Tech and MBA) or a single certification as B.Tech & MBA under dual degree. Will this have any impact on the assessment. requesting your suggestion please. Thanks.

    • rajkamalm
      May 30, 2018

      Well, it depends. If you do have 2 separate degrees, then it makes sense to add 2 degrees. I can’t be 100% though.

      PS: Readers who had a dual-degree with 2 certificates, how did you go about this? Maybe you can help Ravi Tater.

        Hi Ravi,

        One of my friend has a btech and mba (5 year dual degree program) from JIIT Noida. He has recently got his ECA done from WES and had specified the degree as ‘ bachelor of technology and masters of business administration’ (this option can be selected from the drop-down). It is to be noted that you will need to specify the complete duration of the course ( starting year to ending year).

      My friend got it for me. He did not say anything – just get the default one. I personally think it doesn’t even matter.
