Updates on WES Credential Evaluations in 2021

World Education Service (WES) is a leading credential evaluation services provider in North America, recognized by more than 2,500 educational, business, and governmental institutions. Credential evaluation is a valuable resource for iInternational students and immigrants eager to move with plans to study, work, and live in the United States and Canada. WES stayed open for business throughout the OVID-19 pandemic so that education, immigration plans of WES applicants did not get affected. Below are 3 updates :

1. WES Processing Times and How to Track Mail Most popular FAQ: How long does it take to get a credential evaluation from WES? Depends on what type of report you ordered and if you are heading to Canada or the U.S. For an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), it takes about 35 days to complete your report (once we have received all of your required documents and your
payment in full). For all other credential evaluation reports, that average period is 7 days. To expedite your report, carefully review your Required Documents and ensure that WES receives them as quickly as possible. Your university can send your documents digitally (learn more about that below). Use the tracking number provided by your courier service to see when your documents arrive at WES. WES will process and scan your documents, after which you will receive an update in My Account.
2. Electronic File Transfers Can Expedite Your Report WES facilitated secure electronic file transfers during the pandemic, and partnered with thousands of institutions to receive documents electronically, which allows us start evaluating them sooner.
3. You Can Upload Files and contact WES through 'My Account' Instead of mailing a physical copy, you can upload translations and degree certificates directly to My Account. That means we’ll receive and process your documents faster, without any shipping delays.
Next, review your Required Documents and ensure that your institution sends all other document types (such as mark sheets, transcripts, and exam results) directly to WES. Applicants cannot mail their own documents to WES. Remember, WES needs all of your required documents to start your evaluation. Therefore, uploading some of your documents directly can help reduce your overall wait.
