How to send transcripts to WES Canada from India

Email / Digital

Digital document services are gaining popularity for their speed and convenience. Whether you're requesting a transcript, migration certificate, or medium of instruction letter, many universities now allow verified digital copies to be emailed directly to credential evaluation bodies like WES (World Education Services). Always ensure the email is sent from the official university domain to meet the strict document verification standards.

Institutions that support secure digital transmission typically provide this option at the time of your application. Be sure to double-check the WES or relevant agency's documentation requirements to avoid delays.

Courier / Hard Copy

When opting for physical dispatch of your academic transcripts or migration certificates, the documents must be enclosed in a sealed envelope stamped and signed by the issuing authority. This method is often used when digital options are unavailable or not accepted by the recipient agency.

Make sure to choose a trusted courier service and track your package to ensure timely and secure delivery. Note that many institutions prefer working with third-party agencies like FACTS Transcripts to facilitate courier services and reduce manual follow-up.

Speed Post / Hard Copy

Speed Post is a reliable government-operated postal option for sending hard copies of your transcripts, degree verification letters, or medium of instruction documents. It is especially preferred when sending to international credential evaluators like WES.

As per the WES guidelines updated on December 1, 2018, documents must be mailed directly by the institution. WES no longer accepts documents sent by students, agents, or third-party services unless the third party is authorized by the university to do so. This rule applies specifically to documents originating from India.

To comply with WES standards, it's advised to coordinate with your university's examination or registrar office. Alternatively, professional services like FACTS Transcripts can assist in routing your documents from the university directly to WES, ensuring zero rejections and complete tracking of your academic package.

FACTS Transcripts has consistently met WES document criteria, with all transcripts dispatched in accordance with the latest regulations. Whether it's for a transcript request, medium of instruction letter, migration certificate, or degree verification, they act as a reliable liaison between the student and the university, streamlining the entire process.

For any document required for international study, PR, or job purposes, always double-check the latest requirements with the evaluating body (e.g., WES, IQAS, ECE) and confirm whether your institution supports direct digital transmission or only sealed courier services.

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.
