Hello everyone
My uni sent my transcript to WES via email on 7th of November 2025, however, I did not get an email from WES acknowledging receipt of the transcript. I sent them several messages and they said my documents were being evaluated(guess they were talking about my ACCA).
Then on 15th December, WES contacted me that they haven’t received the transcripts for my bachelor’s.
I had to send my school another email for them to send the transcript again because I asked ChatGPT what could be the issue and it said probably the way the email was sent, so WES wasn’t able to tie it to my profile. My uni sent another email on 16/12/2025 but WES is still yet to acknowledge and my dashboard is still showing “awaiting documents from institution”
The email the documents were sent to is documents@wes.org
At this point, I’m confused. Please help

Firstly, schools don’t just send transcripts by email unless they have an official electronic arrangement with WES. What arrangement does your school have with WES, and what method or pattern has your school used successfully for previous students while dealing with WES?

Why not go by the document checklist mate?

don't you think I must have done that already? these questions arose from issues I noticed while following the checklist and providing requested information.

please did anyone here receive ITA this month? Particularly for inland CEC?

Hello everyone

Pls for non express entry stream, heard IRCC do later request for bank statements, payslips and reference letter even though you submitted them when applying. How true is this pls?
Has anyone experienced this before?

Yes, non–Express Entry applications can take up to two years to process, so updated documents may be requested at any stage of the application.

In my case, i was asked to submit Tax clearance documents for 3months in addition to payslips, bank statements. I'm a civil servant. Just my own experience.

BurnerMan:
Hello everyone,

I want to confirm if IRCC has made it compulsory to include tax clearance information as part of proof of work experience document?

Thank you

Thank you everyone for your input. I have asked my uni to contact WES directly.
Should I go ahead to create my profile pending the WES report or wait until I have that? I already have my IELTS result

No worries... you need your WES certificate number too

My sister applied for for PGD in Canada PGD school and declared that bsc is her highest certification. Actually, she already did her masters and was even doing her PhD. She applied for pgd school because it was much cheaper and using bsc, she felt it would be much better.
Now she’s done with her PhD and wants to apply for express entry.
She’s worried because if she input her highest academic records which is phd, they might see it that she lied in her first application.

Please what can she do?

Hi family, It’s been 42 days since I submitted more documents as requested for my Pr… it was requested after submitting documents for ITA.
I haven’t heard a word…
Is this normal guys?

She better just continue in the path of Bsc being her highest qualification before the PGD else she will not only be refused she will also be banned and removed from Canada for 5 years.
So better continue in that path.

I believe she already know the answer. No need to try anything else other than to stick to what is already on records else otilo. She made a huge mistake from the beginning, having a PhD doesn’t mean you can’t pursue other interests. My spouse is a Medical Doctor but applied for a diploma and was granted study visa then.

This is a delicate situation and should be treated with utmost care.

Let’s break it down from my experience and some online research:
Point 1:
What she did during her study permit application is technically wrong but context matters.

On her study permit / PGD application, she declared BSc as her highest qualification while she already held a Master’s and was pursuing a PhD.
That is considered misrepresentation by omission, [/b]because IRCC expects applicants to disclose all completed post-secondary education, even if they choose to apply based on a lower credential.

It was done to justify academic progression and cost, not to inflate CRS points. Many people do this without understanding IRCC’s strict disclosure rules.

Point 2:

Will IRCC find out? Yes, most times the ircc officials can automatically link her previous study permit application as they have her UCI no, biometrics and other key information.

Point 3:
Next steps for the purpose of express entry, she has to declare her PhD fully and correctly in Express Entry. She must list:
• BSc
• Master’s
• PhD all With accurate dates and documents.
[b]And most importantly Include a Letter of Explanation (LOE) proactively
The LOE should:
• Acknowledge the discrepancy
• Explain the rationale clearly
• Show there was no intent to mislead for immigration benefit
• Emphasize transparency now

Point 4:
Is she at risk of a 5-year ban?

Low risk IF she discloses properly now.

Misrepresentation findings usually occur when:
• The inconsistency is discovered by IRCC first
• There is no explanation
• Or the applicant continues to conceal facts
Proactive disclosure significantly reduces risk.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Maybe I should just tell her not to venture

The decision is up to her, however, if I were in her shoes, I would put my best foot forward. I will proceed with my application, prepare a very detailed LoE covering the academic records, if possible engage a registered immigration consultant to review my application before submission.

Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this. It can take months before you hear back. In my own case, I did not hear anything for like 6 months after submitting ADR.
