Sleekjaguar:
I used both and the experiences are as follows:

WES will send a verification of credential request back to the Nigerian institution. If your school is the unresponsive type, it will delay your report because without that WES will not conclude nor issue it. If your school is foreign, e.g. UK or US, then no worries, they'll accept their transcript submissions and deliver to you when they're through.

ICAS on the other hand, will not send a verification of credential request back to the Nigerian institution but their timeline is very long.
I applied sometime in September/ October 2014 but got my report just last week, Feb 20, 2015.

WES' process is usually about 2 months or slightly more. This also depends on how quick you're to act, type of postage used (courier in this case).


Thank you.....

I also learnt that one can use ICAS to apply for jobs, academics and other assessments when in Canada, but not with WES. If it is a question of time, I'm not in a hurry, so I think ICAS will work for me.....

From the foregoing, if time is of the essence, I'll suggest you use WES, otherwise ICAS.

Has anyone got recommendations on ICAS and WES.

which body is better off to assess one's academic credentials and to give a well detailed result?

Thank you
