When Applying for Your Transcript, Keep in Mind And Ask The Right Questions

When Applying for Your Transcript, Keep in Mind And Ask The Right Questions

So you’ve decided to migrate to Canada.
Therefore, you decide to hire a Transcript company to solve your problem. This company can bring your transcript genuinely, and get you confidence which in the end, will support your immigration process and Visa.

Importance of Hiring a Trusted Transcript Company

The FACTS Transcripts, we’ve been working in Verification and Transcripts for more than a decade. Since our agency was founded back in 2005, Verification and Transcript procurement has been our main specialty. However, we've become experts in University documents retrieval services after achieving 1,50,000 customer satisfactions.

Why Choose Us for Transcript Services?

Having the same company apply for a degree certificate for your education as well as put together a Transcript for immigration strategy can make the best of both worlds. However, you will want to be careful when hiring a firm to do both your degree and transcript, because many firms will attempt to separate themselves from the competition by showcasing that they are experts in both, when in fact, they are only proficient at one.

Always do proper research and ask the right questions to thoroughly examine your partner agency. For example, you should check for their reviews about its philosophy, process, and how long the assignment will take. When you’re searching for a transcript service company, be sure to ask if they offer to post transcript services, and if so, what types.

How to Identify Genuine Transcript Services

Some companies claim they provide transcripts, but in reality, the only service they’re offering is a verification letter. This is not the official transcript, and there’s much more involved in obtaining a transcript or an Official Transcript.

Understanding the Transcript Process

Transcript all starts with the University: finding which University provides what type of transcript, especially if you’re looking to use it for WES, IQAS, ICAS, ICES, etc. A University Transcript doesn’t just include attested marksheets or one page; it’s about providing the overall study for your program and getting various metrics such as Attested Transcripts, Formatted Transcripts, and the current procedure with the verification letter included into the transcript.

The Blueprint for the Transcript Process

Once you have your transcript in hand, then comes the application process. It’s crucial to understand the delivery aspects of the transcript. Do you have connections to convince the University? As most Universities in India do not send international postal deliveries, even if paid to do so, they may be unwilling to do it.

Once this is all completed, the process is far from over. There are always complications when dealing with the internal teams at the Universities responsible for making the transcript, including verifiers, superintendents, clerks, and registrars.

Key Questions to Ask Your Transcript Service Provider

The questions a client should be asking their potential transcript agency include what type of documents are needed, identity proof requirements, and what types of Transcript services they offer, such as one-page transcripts or attested documents.

Why Choose FACTS Transcripts for Your Official Transcript

FACTS Transcripts is an independent organization that helps you obtain sealed official transcripts from Universities in India within a short time. Do I get a transcript?

If there are any potential issues with a transcript recommendation, our verification team members can speak with transcript consultants to resolve the issues. Transcript consultants will also be able to recommend other aspects of your education, including name corrections, convocation, and mark sheet corrections to ensure successful documentation.

Effective Communication with Your Transcript Service Team

In any business, communication is extremely important. A transcript service team that has in-house services for all your documentation will communicate effectively with other team members, making the entire application process smoother. Getting the correct document could be what elevates your immigration or educational journey to the next level.

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.
