How many days does it take for a WES evaluation?
There are two types of WES evaluations:
- For document-by-document evaluations, typically chosen by individuals applying for PR and immigration, once your transcript has been received and all payments have been cleared, you can expect to receive the PDF report within 35 days. If you opt for a physical report, it will take an additional 30 days.
- For course-by-course evaluations, commonly selected by those pursuing higher studies, you will receive the PDF report within approximately 15 days after your transcript and payments are processed. The physical report will take an additional 30 days to arrive.
Does WES evaluate diplomas?
Yes, WES (World Education Services) evaluates diplomas as part of their credential evaluation services.
The equivalence determined by WES may vary and could be assessed up to the level of higher secondary education in the Canadian education system.
Does WES evaluate distance education?
Yes, WES evaluates credentials from distance education programs and those from regular or private institutions.
For WES to recognize and evaluate these credentials, the university offering distance education must be approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in India or an equivalent accrediting body in other countries.
Does WES evaluate incomplete degrees?
WES typically only evaluates complete degrees or partially completed academic programs. They require applicants to submit transcripts or documents that represent completed qualifications or degrees.
Only complete degrees or programs where the final degree has yet to be awarded are generally not evaluated by WES.
Does WES evaluate professional qualifications?
Yes, WES does evaluate professional qualifications in addition to academic credentials.
Does the WES evaluation expire?
WES evaluations are valid for five years from the date of issuance.
After this period, if you need to demonstrate the equivalency of your educational credentials again, you would typically need to request a re-evaluation from WES.
It’s important to remember this timeframe when planning for applications or submissions that require a current evaluation of your credentials.
Does WES evaluation increase GPA?
No, a WES evaluation does not increase or change your GPA (Grade Point Average).
WES evaluates your educational credentials based on your submitted documents, such as transcripts and certificates.
They translate your grades, credits, and academic achievements into an understandable and comparable format within the Canadian education system or other international standards.
