@Zandora,

Just got my spouse's ielts result. Though she didn't make the cut (8777) but my tally now stands at 451 points. Hope that's good enough? I already told her she has to take it again.

Hello Friends in the house, quick clarification please. I have an original copy of my transcript, can i send it to WES for evaluation? Will they accept it since its not coming directly from the school? Has anyone done this before? Thanks

Secondly, I did an evaluation with WES and online check show that the dispatched the ECA since Sept 9th via regular mail but i have not received till now. Should it take this long even if sent to Africa through Canada post?

For those who want to cut cost by sending their documents to WES through NIPOST, I will say; go ahead.

Hubby and I sent our certificates through NIPOST and it got there in less than 2 weeks, from Lagos. I was pleasantly surprised.

you have to be patient since it his regular mail and you know how it is with nigeria postal system although, its better now thats why it is advisable to do courier.

yes i did sent my certificate also through nipost and it got there like 2weeks but i think it is not advisable to to use regular mail for delivery from wes,because the guys at nipost do take extra time to check parcel coming to nigeria dont know why but you cannot rule out the nigerian factor,thinking that somone most have hidden dollars inside the parcel so they dont want to miss out on any thing befoe delivery if not why the delay.nigerian things

True that! Wes sent my evaluation thru regular post and by the time I saw it in my box,it was already opened!!

Hello house! Please I need advice or information on what to do to increase my present Express Entry score. Is there any short course I can do to add to my academic qualification?

Why did WES send your evaluation through regular post? Mine was brought to me at home by a UPS courier. And I sent my certificate and transcripts to them through registered NIPOST mail.

It would be safer and better to put the Ogun State since that's what's written on her cert. That is not a problem at all.

Congrats! That's a good score. I don't think she should retake it unless you have spare funds to burn. I hope you're in the pool because you have a chance of being selected. Goodluck

NIPOST isn't always reliable, I will suggest people use courier because that guarantees delivery. Besides if on the rare occasion that the courier failed to deliver the item due to their own fault then another one would be sent to you free of charge. On the other hand if NIPOST fails to deliver then you'll have to pay for another.

You will only need to have WES done if you want to increase your score. If your CRS score is less than 450 then it's advisable to have WES done as that can add up to 10 points to your score that is of course if your husband is the principal applicant.

thanks @ zandora,
please can we calculate our CRS before submitting our profile and if yes, how?

Is it possible for WES to go ahead with evaluation without confirming documents from sch and awaiting the arrival of d other transcript..I applied for evaluation of both my Ist and second degree .my Ist degree transcript and photocopies of both certificates forwarded too and am still battling to send my master's transcript as I keep getting stories but wen I checked my status it showed documents received evaluation in progress.
1. Am supprised they went ahead without waiting for d other transcript( although I don't mind now as d other one is taking foreva)
2. How come there was nothing like verifying d documents bfore evaluation

Kindly advice am a bit confused

It was WES US because I didnt pay for courier.

I hope you didn't use WES USA for Canada though?

That's a good score. Don't bother her again. Say me congrats to her!

Thanks buddy, I just updated my EE profile
But if she retakes it she can score up to 466

No dear,it was for masters.I dont even know why it cant be used since its same WES and same evaluation.

@ Zandora,

Hello Friends in the house, quick clarification please. I have an original copy of my transcript, can i send it directly to WES for evaluation? Will they accept it because its not coming directly from the school? Has anyone sent directly to WES and not by the school?

My school gives you the transcript to send. What I did was send from a post office in the town where my school is. That way there won't be any contradiction between where the school is and where it was sent from.

But in the case where the school sends verification result by post too, it means you need a contact in your school to notify you when the verification is done so you can send it to WES again. My school verifies through email so it kinda made it easier for me.

bunni12:

It can't be use because while WES Canada assesses your educational credentials to find its Canadian equivalency, WES USA assesses your educational credentials to obtain it's US equivalency. So unless you intend schooling in the USA WES Canada is the way to go.

Also don't forget the form that is to be downloaded and sent with the transcript, the school is meant to sign on one part of the form too. A friend of mine sent a sealed copy of his transcript that he had but WES rejected it because he forgot to include the form.

Your friend's case is peculiar - I didn't send the form, yet WES honored my application and evaluated my credentials.
Perhaps WES rejected your friend's application for a different reason.

Naa, he told me that was the reason. I myself didn't even know about the form because my transcript is online via Digitary so WES got my transcript from there so the form wasn't required. It was when he asked if I was aware of the form because WES rejected his transcript for not including it that I became aware of the existence of the form. Maybe your case was an oversight because if the form wasn't that important then why would WES say it needs to be completed by the school? Strange.

I agree....there is truly a form that must be included. I rmbr my sch (in the UK not naija o) had to get back to me to fill the form and send it back to them so that they can include it in my package before sending it to WES.
