What is WES?

World Education Services (WES) is a nonprofit organization that provides credential evaluations for international students and immigrants planning to study or work in the U.S. and Canada. Founded in 1974, it is based in New York, U.S. It also has operations in Toronto, Canada.

What Can a WES Evaluation Do for You?

A WES evaluation is essential for education and employment opportunities. Whether you are looking to continue your education, seek professional licensing, or pursue employment in the U.S. or Canada, the WES evaluation ensures your international academic credentials are recognized. It translates your educational credentials into their U.S. and Canadian equivalents, stating the academic equivalency of your degree or diploma. WES evaluations are widely accepted by academic institutions, licensing boards, employers, and government agencies throughout the U.S. and Canada.

WES also offers a credential evaluation service in Canada. For more information or assistance, you can contact FACTS Transcripts for seamless document processing and support.

The WES Evaluation Process

Applications for evaluation submitted to WES are processed in the following manner:

Step 1. Receipt of Application
Once your application is received, WES examines it to ensure all required documents are present and full payment is made.

Step 2. Verification of Documents
Obtaining the correct documents is critical to the WES evaluation process. If WES finds any missing documents, they will issue a "Document Request" for the necessary information. Your file will be placed on hold until all required documents are received. If WES needs to verify documents with the issuing institution(s), copies will be sent for verification. The process continues only once a response from the institution is received. No exceptions are made for this process.

Required Documents - What to Submit

To ensure accurate and valid evaluations, WES adheres to specific document requirements for each country of education. The following are the requirements for India:

FOR INDIA:
All Year Marks Sheet / Annual Marks Statement / Consolidated Mark Sheet
Provisional Degree or Degree Certificate

Make sure to submit the appropriate documents as per the guidelines for your country of education to avoid delays in the evaluation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about sending transcripts to WES from India.

From the day you place the order to the day WES issues your ECA report typically takes 30–60 working days. The biggest variable is your university's transcript processing time — some universities issue in 1 week, others take 6+ weeks. Apply at least 60 days before you need the report.

No. WES does not accept transcripts sent by the applicant. The documents must come directly from your university or through an authorized service that picks up sealed envelopes from the university and dispatches them to WES.

The total cost is typically ₹22,000–₹30,000 for one degree. This includes the WES application fee (₹16,000–₹22,000), university transcript fee (₹500–₹3,000), and either international courier (₹2,500–₹4,000) or FACTS service fee (₹4,500–₹6,000).

If WES finds an issue — opened envelope, missing document, wrong address — they post the issue in your online account and pause processing. You must request fresh documents from your university and have them re-dispatched. This can add 4–8 weeks to your timeline, which is why first-time accuracy matters.

WES doesn't require an MOI letter for the ECA itself, but Canadian immigration (IRCC) and many universities accept MOI letters in lieu of IELTS/TOEFL. If your degree was taught in English, request an MOI letter from your university — FACTS can obtain it alongside your transcripts.

Yes. If you have a Bachelor's from one university and a Master's from another, FACTS can handle all of them in a single coordinated order, ensuring everything reaches WES in the right packaging with your reference number.

Some universities only mail to Indian addresses. In that case, FACTS receives the sealed envelope from your university and forwards it to WES via tracked international courier — fully compliant with WES's direct-dispatch requirement, since the seal is never broken.

WES ECA reports are valid for 5 years from the date of issue. If your immigration application is delayed beyond 5 years, you'll need a new evaluation.

WES offers a 7-business-day expedited evaluation for an additional fee at their end. However, the bigger time consumers are your university's transcript processing and international shipping — and those can't be expedited by WES. The fastest practical path is to use a service like FACTS that knows exactly which universities respond fastest and how to dispatch immediately upon receipt.

WES Canada (Toronto) is used for Canadian immigration, education, and licensing. WES USA (New York) is used for U.S. university admissions, employment, and licensing. The application process and required documents are nearly identical, but reports are issued separately for each — you cannot use a WES Canada report for a U.S. application or vice versa.
