FACTS is India's largest transcript outsourcing specialist. We collect official academic transcripts from your Indian university and dispatch them directly to WES, IQAS, CES, ICES, or MCC for your Educational Credential Assessment.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) to verify that your foreign education is equivalent to a Canadian credential.
ECA is mandatory for all Express Entry streams — Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades (FST). Without it, your foreign degree has zero points in CRS.
Most PNPs, including Ontario's OINP, BC PNP, Alberta Advantage Immigration, and Saskatchewan SINP, require an ECA or equivalent credential verification as part of the nomination process.
Canadian universities and Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) require official transcripts for admission. FACTS dispatches transcripts directly to universities or via agencies like WES for evaluation.
Regulated professions in Canada — engineering, nursing, accounting, pharmacy — require credential evaluation through their respective licensing bodies. Official transcripts are the foundation of this process.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada recognizes these five organizations for Educational Credential Assessments. FACTS dispatches transcripts directly to all of them.
The most popular ECA organization for Canada. Offers ICAP (with advisory report) and Document-by-Document evaluation. Fastest turnaround.
WES Canada Guide ➔Alberta-based government assessment service. Preferred by Alberta PNP applicants. Accepted across all Express Entry streams nationwide.
IQAS Guide ➔Run by the University of Toronto's School of Continuing Studies. Known for thorough evaluations, especially for academic credentials.
CES Guide ➔Operated by BCIT in British Columbia. Frequently used by BC PNP applicants. Provides equivalency statements recognized by IRCC.
ICES Guide ➔Exclusively for physicians (MBBS/MD). Required for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) seeking medical licensure in Canada.
MCC Guide ➔From university liaison to direct dispatch, we handle the entire transcript procurement process so you can focus on your immigration application.
FACTS has established relationships with 900+ Indian universities. Our on-ground agents coordinate with university registrars to initiate transcript requests on your behalf — even at universities known for delays.
We collect all required documents from your university — transcripts, degree certificates, mark sheets, and supplementary documents. Everything is verified for completeness before dispatch.
Transcripts are sent directly from the university (or our secure facilitation center) to your chosen ECA organization — in sealed, tamper-proof envelopes that meet each ECA's verification requirements.
Your education level directly impacts CRS scores: a Bachelor's degree adds up to 120 points, a Master's up to 135, and a Doctorate up to 150. Proper ECA classification ensures you receive maximum CRS points for your education.

Individual semester or year mark sheets showing subjects, grades, credits, and pass/fail status. Required by most ECAs as part of the transcript package.
