Unless if this is a recent development, i asked for a remark of 3 components and only 1 got upgraded. My 15k was returned to me.

Uglyduckling:
it's 15k flat rate irrespective of components being reassessed. The difference is that if you reassess say two components and only one gets a higher band score the money is not returned.

Probably the cost for sending hard copies of your degree for verification thru International Express Mail

XX01:
How come my own WES cost 322CAD? For only masters. They charged 70CAD GST and some money for courier in addition to the 233 for the verification.

I'm not sure, but its definitely shorter than evaluating a Nigerian Degree. It should not exceed 20 working days after WES gets your transcripts/certificate. Just search for 'UK', im sure you'll get an average timeline.

temmytee1:
please do you have an idea of how long on average it takes WES to assess a UK certificate

Her name doesnt really matter once you have her change of name/wedding certificate. IQAS is usually faster than WES because WES verifies Nigerian certs, the costs are about the same.

victor101:
Hi @dammysanmi my Wife want to evaluate her result with WES, but the name in her certificate isn't same because of marriage, please how do we go about it? Also between WES or IQAS which do you advice we use - in terms of cost and efficiency. Thanks

The last draw was 415. 418 is not bad, FOR NOW...

Ekinado:
. thanks!
I just did it and I got 418, please is it a good score?

Mail WES directly stating both WES Numbers(You and Spouse) AND Tweet @WESCanada

sly4reall:
My contact in the US used his card to pay ECA Evaluation for me and my spouse, but mistakenly made the payments(2 PAYMENTS) into my account. Meaning i made paid twice and no payment in my spouse account.

How do I get WES to refund the payment or move the over payment to my spouse WES account, It been a week I cannot even reach WES.

If you have your UK certificate ready, just fax/mail a copy to them and arrange for your transcripts to be sent to WES. Nigerian degrees are harder to evaluate, skip your Nigerian degree unless if you are ready to wait for 1-3 months!

Read Pages 0-5, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

With an IELTS score of 8777 in LRWS, you have a score of 429 with your BSc. Your MSc degree will get you a score of 469, all other things(age,IELTS) being equal. If you have a statement of result for your MSc, go ahead with WES now!

anaxagoras:
I haven't taken the IELTS exam. WIll be writing next month. I am 27, Single and have more than 3 years working experience.

Not a bad plan, You can post your age,years of work experience, marital status, IELTS scores to give us a better picture of your "predicted score"

anaxagoras:
Hello Team,
I wanna do my ECA evaluation using WES for my BSc certificate (and enter the pool) while i wait for my Msc certificate that will be ready by January 2018 and do a re-evaluation using IQAS for MSc if i haven't been selected.

Please i need a quick reponse

I believe the Doc BY Doc($145+) evaluation is the option for EE.

A Canadian mail address ensures your report gets to you in 3 days or less, a Nigerian mail address will definitely take a longer period.

WES results take 20 working days after all documents have been received(certificate/statement of result,transcript and/or verification mail/email). I'm not sure you can fast-track anything, just get your documents across to them in the shortest possible time (courier preferably) and follow up with WES or your school at each stage.

All the best!

jaybwoi:
Hello people,

Please for my WES evaluation, which one should I do?

WES ICAP - Document by Document ($145) OR WES ICAP Course by Course ($205)?

Also I have friends in Canada, can I use any of their addresses as my mailing address so that my ECA can be sent to them instead of WES sending my ECA to Nigeria? What do you guys advise?

How long does an evaluation take with WES? Can I fast track it?

I can relate @browndoll , PAID on February 17, WES graciously released my e-copy ECA result today May 17, 3 months after and 1 hour after the latest draw(after a lot of prayers, strongly worded emails and tweets). @40manlappy, You have been very helpful!

browndoll:
@Beem4cupid I have sent them over 15 tweets,10 direct messages and more emails than I can count. And I'm a 100% sure my school has responded 3 times to Wes.i started this evaluation February 11 and up till now.they keep asking you to resend and resend and resend
They are the WORST foreign organization I have ever dealt with.useless bunch of people

I do not see any issue here. If you are BENT on WES over IQAS, Make sure you school SEALS your transcripts, then send both your certificate and transcripts in the same package through courier (obtain a tracking number from them for traceability). And follow up with WES to acknowledge receipt of BOTH. Voila!

keleto:
pls senoirs in the house. i have an issue here........
Ihave already collected my CERTIFICATES and TRANSCRIPTS from my school. Now am trying to do my credential assessment from WES.From their site,it says the school would have to send it directed to them. SO how do i do this.since i cannot send the credential WES office by myself

Pls advice.

Great scores! WES usually responds to mails after a week but Twitter response time is a few hours. They actually sent a mail indicating the day i will have my report (Only a patient person can do biz with WES). All the best!

Chordata:
I wrote my IELTS test on APR 29. Scores were L:9 W:7.5 R:8 S:8.
Trying to bombard WES with emails and hounding them on twitter too so I can get my ECA asap.
Thank you all for the tips; this is like the best thread for my current needs.

Do connect with @bigbroda i think he has a similar issue with UNIPORT. You have to get someone at UNIPORT to speed it up.

flow2davis:
Good morning Good People,

I am having plenty delay with Uniport responding to the WES Degree confirmation.
It is acknowledged that the confirmation request from WES has arrived Uniport for over 3 weeks now, yet there is tooooo much sluggishness in doing the needful by Uniport.
Has anyone gone through this?
How much do I expect to pay again if any?
Any assist to follow up on this will be appreciated and I will cover the cost for any assistance rendered.

I need help as Degree confirmation from Uniport is my only challenge for now.

http://help.wes.org/?Site=Canada

Hit the EMAIL WES Button on the lower part of the page

EJIZY:
Hi please can you assist with the email address for WES. Thank you.

WES is synonymous with crappy customer service, especailly for Nigerian Universities. Simply pay the required fees to your school and get someone from UNIPORT to monitor the response and mail/tweet WES till they complete evaluation.

bigbroda:
Any Uniport graduate dat did WES evaluation in d house? 0

Honestly these WES guyz are giving me headache abi na UNIPORT ni.

I already paid WES and also sorted out my Uniport transcript sending. About 2 weeks ago, my status on WES website changed to 'documents recieved, review in progress'. I knew they use about 20 business days to complete review, I just decided to mail them yesterday complaining dat I was yet to hear from them on my credentials evaluation and I got d mail below from them:

Dear Applicant,


University of Port Harcourt has sent the attached form requesting a fee in order to verify the authenticity of your credentials.

PLEASE SEND YOUR PAYMENT DIRECTLY TO University of Port Harcourt.

Your evaluation is on hold until WES receives a written response from University of Port Harcourt.



What's dis crap about? Does anyone understand dis? Still wondering why they didn't even tell me dis until I mailed them yesterday.

Sadly, I think you have to, cos WES will place everything on hold till you do so. I sent a strongly worded mail after i paid and they responded with their usual acknowledgement email afterwards.
The annoying thing is that their verification mail(international express my foot) took almost 3 weeks to get to the school. I called them out on twitter and they promptly updated my status to evaluation in progress...i guess they respond faster to displeased customers.

MrsBee:
Please is this normal? Almost a hundred dollars for something I didn't consent to.

It means they have sent PHOTOCOPIES to your institution to verify your certificate/transcript. They will not proceed until you pay (the extra charge $96.05 : their cost of posting via International Express), then you have to follow up with your school to respond to the verification request, either by mail or email. Good luck!!!

MrsBee:
Please who has gotten this type of email before from WES. I asked how I can fast track the process and they sent these emails.

Bombard them with mails, Tweet at them @WESCanada, asking them to update your status. Follow Up Follow Up Follow UP, though their standard processing time is 20 working days after receiving all documents, but with lots of prayer and BOMBARDING they can do it in lesser time. I hope they don't ask your school to verify your transcript or certificate.

EJIZY:
Please how long does it take WES to evaluate a result? My transcript just got to them today.

Oga/Madam,

The point is not fixed, the best we do is predict/pray/hope . The last draw had the lowest score for ITA at 415 (cutoff). A number of people are in Canada through EE but might not be readily available to recall their scores/points. Kindly read and digest this thread from page 0. Thank you!

Chyxki:
Goodevening House,

Just located this thread. Can someone who has succeeded in getting Express Entry please tell me how many points they scored.

Thanks very much. Waiting...

With an upward bump in your IELTS Listening scores( From 7 to 8 ) your scores increase from 407 to 465 (Assuming you are single)
So,
You can either wait for the next draw(maybe tomorrow or next week) and hope the scores drop from 415 to 407

Or call for a remark of your IELTS (IF your result is not more than 2 weeks old and you are sure your 'Listening' could increase from 7.5 to 8 )

OR rewrite IELTS and make sure you get minimum 8777 in your LRWS (Listening is the game changer)

OR Get a PNP (Last resort).

P.S: Start your ECA for your ACCA and BSc yesterday!

Hi Guys,




Please indulge my request, I'm new on this thread. I know the answer might be somewhere but it's taking a lot of time to read through.

Is this IELTS result good enough for Canadian Federal express skilled worker prog?
Listening 7.5, Reading 7.5, Writing 7 and Speaking 8

If not, which do I have to work on?

Also, are professional certifications like ACCA considered while checking Canada's equivalent educational level? A friend told me it's equivalent to Masters, how true is this?

I'd appreciate candid and swift response.
Thank you

We need your age and years of experience to assess you. HOWEVER, DIY by using this tool to assess yourself http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
ACCA is acceptable in Canada. Page 0 is only a few pages away...

Please read from page 0 (or the last 3 pages on the thread ) carefully, you'll get most of your answers (Thread is getting too repetitive ).
WES is currently way slower than IQAS, its your choice ultimately.
Evaluate your highest degrees ONLY (if BSc or MSc or MBA) but if HND is your highest degree include OND too.
Evaluate Spouse's HIGHEST degree (& sit for IELTS) too, if Principal Applicant doesn't have enough points alone.

N464 now

Cladez:
Can someone help me check how much i can cash out from this B911CACPEPAEZ-1244981

I paid Feb 17th! I would have selected IQAS if i knew WES would be THIS slow and expensive! I've had to pay for several courier costs, even the photocopies WES sends to the school to verify, and the school verifying the same back to WES!
My score 457 had better make ITA after all this unnecessary verification is done.

optionese:
People need to stop using WES. IQAS has a better time frame and there is no back and forth sending documents to school for verification

In this wave of low scores...WES biko... Nigeria University Verification ... even for official copy of transcript

Her Age, Highest Qualification? The scores look pretty low because of her Listening and Reading.

MummyJaygirls:
Good day, this is my friend's IELTS scores and she doesn't want to rewrite. Please what do you advice?

Listening 5.5
Reading 6.0
Writing 7.0
Speaking 7.5

She is single, and has already applied for ECA

Please refer to Page 360

Boss13:
Hi guys, I want to know what medicals required for Canadian EE, where can the Medicals been done and how much does it cost

Thanks

It usually means that WES has received your documents (not necessarily your transcripts) and have sent a verification request by email or post (hard copy)...you need to follow up with those schools to respond asap. If the schools were sent the request via post mail, you might have to[b] pay extra[/b] very soon(about 96 CAD).

Hope this helps.

colegold100:
Congrats to those who have received ITA.

@ the gurus in the house, my evaluation status on WES portal reads "Waiting for verification from institution". Could this mean that my transcripts must have been sent by my schools (undergraduate and PG) but WES want to confirm their genuinity?

I need to understand this status so I can know who to follow up.

please assist
