WES is a very good site that does their job. Only my university took a long time to send the report to WES. WES took less than 2 week to send me the report. Also it has been properly secured. Navigation and status regarding the process are very clear.

WES is probably the best place to get your ECA done for Canadian immigration. They are usually quite efficient and stick to the timeline given. Just don't expect any replies to emails. They'll send you something from the FAQs.

Being from a foreign country, the process was smooth all the way! My local university knew exactly how to package and address the envelope, I saw via DHL tracking that it was received by a WES representative closely followed by the WES App confirmation message and an ensuing email. Timely and accurate updates were provided as to the progress of my application. Payment was a breeze using international credit card and I was even able to change my delivery option at the last minute. From start to finish it took less than 2 months once you and your university follow the instructions to the “T”. The evaluation was spot on as well!

WES is unable to track my translations, transcripts and diploma despite acknowledging their receipt. They are highly incompetent and just often times clueless. Depending on the time you call and who you speak to the answer you get is different. Waste of time and waste of money.

First of all you gonna need this thing when you study abroad. WES provides an internationally recognized and pretty simple evaluation system and procedure. You just need to submit documents which you are going to need in the other country to WES and that's it! Further WES will send you their evaluated document to wherever you want, the local mailing authority may delay your delivery but as far as I know it's just in 2 weeks at most.

I got WES to evaluate my transcripts from India. After multiple attempts, I was able to get them the right documents as they kept rejecting without offering a good reason. Finally when they evaluated, the GPA came out so low. I had gotten evaluations done from other reputed credentialing agencies and they were much higher than WES. I opened an inquiry and after repeated multiple followups they came back with a standard answer. If you can apply to schools without using WES, please do so as they are the worst credentialing organization with no focus on the customer experience.

I submitted my evaluation request in late July and as of mid-October I have nothing, despite a $300 fee payment!!! My school in France sent them the transcript and also sent me copies. Despite acknowledging receipt of the documents, they claim that they don't have it because the document is titled something else as opposed to what they would like, despite clearly showing the list of courses and grades. I have entered multiple "contact us" that mostly go unanswered. They said they were going to investigate with the school and get back to me, but when I called 2 weeks later, they had not made any attempt to contact the school. I've missed a couple of deadlines and now getting close to missing more. THIS IS THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE I'VE DEALT WITH IN A LONG TIME.

The service was excellent. I can say that the instructions via website or phone made it easy for the applicants to read and understand the guidelines or directions of the things needed to be done. Apparently, I was disappointed because it took me 2 months to get my education approved and I wasn't satisfied that it was only evaluated as a 3 year degree, which I really worked on for 4 years, but as to say I am not sure how the evaluation and accreditation took place, but I understand. At least it was a high evaluation tho. I just hope the waiting time can get fast and it says there, that once the document was received then the 3 weeks of waiting time will proceed until you see the results, but unluckily, I received mine less than 2 months. But overall, everything was good and convenient. Thanks!

Overall experience was good because I got my problems resolved at the end of the day. Although, I would suggest they include certain modification features, such that the customers can make changes to through their account like;1) Add or remove credential. 2) change of evaluation type. Secondly, certain rigidity can be relaxed by allowing for upgrade of another credential during the evaluation process instead of waiting for the current evaluation to end. Also, to create room for customers to run two types of evaluations at the same time, I believe this will save time for both WES and the customer.

WES only accepts documents if they are directly sent by universities in a sealed cover. This means they are authentic documents then why they need reverification again? It is unnecessary process. Students/ customers are struggling for reverification as Universities incur certain fees for it but WES doesn't pay it. Student has to contact universities for reverification process. It is hectic and time taking process.

Their website was very user-friendly; with easy step-by-step guidance on how to get/send our transcripts. Also appreciate their "live" status update, available both on the website and mobile app. Sure gave me a lot of assurance. The review of transcripts took about 10 working days, excluding sending of reports to school. So do factor is a bit more time if you do not want to miss your sch's application timeline. WES also allows adding more credentials, even after the evaluation is completed
I had some hiccups along the way, and the customer service did get back to me within reasonable timing. Would recommend using WES as this organisation has been around for a long time and schools are familiar with their processes, which made the transfer of transcripts smoother than expected (btw, I had to send transcripts from 3 different schools across the globe.) I felt that the whole process was rather costly, esp if you factor in transferring of transcripts/results, etc.

My review of WES plain and simple is that they are a fraudulent organization. I requested for them to do an evaluation of my diploma and Degree for employment purposes. When I completed the form I noticed that WAEC results were required from Nigeria. Now I completed my Secondary education in the United Kingdom and obtained my O and A levels there. Keep in mind this was in 1986. I then went to and did a Diploma in Social Administration and a Degree BSC in Sociology from the University of Lagos. I then called the customer service and told them I did not have the required WAEC results and was told it would be waived. I paid $152.00 in April of 2019 and WES did not get my documents until September 2019. A few days later this was the message I got in my message in box "West African Examinations Council, Nigeria. West African Senior School Certificate. Examination Results | Not Received."
All other documents were received. When I called I was told that they could not complete my evaluation without the WAEC results and when I told them I had my results in the UK then I would have to get those in order for them to complete the evaluation. This is absurd. They would not even give me the documents that were sent to them. The customer service person I spoke to was so rude and when I spoke to a supervisor he told me I could cancel. I then went ahead and cancelled and for them doing nothing I was refunded $100.52 instead of $152.52. No one reached out to me and I not only did they waste my time there was no apology for the misinformation. I only wish I had recorded to the customer service person I initially spoke to. I will write a review about WES every 2 weeks and. If anyone is reading this there are other more competent services out there that are not fraudulent.

I had a horrible experience using WES, I applied for my transcript to be evaluated in May and in October, there is ZERO progress. If you are from Nigeria or a country where it is difficult to obtain your transcript, please use another evaluation body. WES has so many ridiculous requirements like your high school transcript (WAEC) and a scratch card. Save yourself the time and stress. The process is very slow, they add to the evaluation requirement without informing you. When you send them a message on their website, it takes them weeks to reply. I absolutely will NOT RECOMMEND WES.

Two months ago I filled out application for my wife's foreign graduation evaluation. My wife came to US two years ago with her degree and diploma engineering transcripts issued by university and college. We sent those transcripts to Wes. They were rejected stating they didn't come directly from University and college. I contacted Wes to get more information and explained that her technical education board doesn't exist anymore as it was dissolved and instead university took over, so for diploma courses transcript is coming from university. I was told to have university and college send transcripts directly to Wes.
After contacting our relatives in India, we were able to get things done in a month time. Her diploma engineering transcript again got rejected stating it didn't came form Technical education board. I again called, after waiting for more than 20 minutes, A lady came on the phone. I asked her what is wrong this time, she said, since it didn't came from Technical education board, Wes can't accept the transcript. I again told her that her technical education board doesn't exit anymore as it was dissolved couple of years ago. She then asked to fill out the form stating technical education board is no longer exist so please consider transcript from college.
My wife searched form on Wes website, but couldn't find it. She called Wes but even after waiting for 30 minutes, no body came on the phone. She emailed Wes, but didn't get any reply that day. I again called next day, explained customer service person same thing and this time I was told Wes may or may not accept the transcript. I clearly what do you mean by may or may not and why didn't your customer service person told me two months ago about it. She was like wait for our official communication from us. We waited for 1 week but didn't receive any communication. I also tried to contact Wes on Twitter, I was asked to message reference number, which I did with a brief message. Again. Didn't receive any reply for 5 days.
Finally I called customer service and directly asked to talk to supervisor and explained him everything. I was told that since transcript didn't came from technical education board, Wes can't accept it. I asked him what would you do if board no longer exists and how come no told me about it when I contacted Wes first. Why every time I get to hear different thing from your customer service. He didn't have answer for that. You are not entitled to get full refund from Wes, even after you experience their pathetic and unprofessional customer service. I sincerely don't recommend Wes service to anyone.

I would rate my overall experience with WES highly satisfactory and can surely trust WES for any future need for educational assessment. At first, I chose WES only because it was the most popular way to have my ECA report, but I can now understand the reasons for its wide popularity. To count some, They offer reliable, accurate and reputable service. It was also to my advantage that the institutions at which I completed my post-secondary education were already recognized by them, not to mention the great job they did with the evaluation of my submitted documents.
As for the areas that need some improvement, the time it takes to receive the ECA report should be shortened, and customer service for both current and future customers should be more practical. To give some details, it is really hard to reach the customer service if you have not paid your fee yet, because there is no direct email address for queries, and the online form requires you to pay your fees to get your reference number so that you can reach the customer service. Besides that, you only get standard answers through social media, and paying customers cannot reply to the responses for their queries.
As to the time constraints, it took WES about two months to assess my documents as they issued a notice saying they were very busy due to the high number of documents sent to them. Although this sounds very understandable, this time of the year (summer months) is when people need their educational assessment the quickest. A solution to this would help so many people to plan their lives outside their home countries and would save them from missing important deadlines. Despite the above drawbacks, I certainly recommend WES for an ECA evaluation for both academic and immigration purposes for you can trust them with the outcome regardless of possible problems you may encounter.

The WES mobile app made it very easy for me to keep track of my evaluation process as it was ongoing until the completion date in the sense that, whenever there’s an update in respect to my evaluation process, a notification pops up in my phone home screen. I have actually recommended WES to a few of my friends of mine whom are currently in the process of getting their credentials evaluated, and if you’re still contemplating on which service is best for ECA, then I would advice you give WES a try and you would be glad you did.

Hi, My overall experience with WES is good, but I do have one query or take it as a request relating to processing time for application. Sometime for immigration purposes we need to send documents on short notice or meeting deadlines are important. So if WES can make processing time short that will be great for future students, professionals, e.t.c. Thank you.

I applied to have my degree verified for immigration requirements in Canada. The process took a month longer than it was supposed to, for no clear reason. I submitted all documents required using the Digitary service, it just took them longer (I assume they had a lot of applications to process). The frustrating part was the lack of updates on the application. I only received a notification the processing deadline had changed to a later date after I had called them to see where my application was. The relief is that there were no issues with my application and so no further delays. I have friends who have experienced worse delays. Overall, the service is fine - I've heard other agencies are even slower! You just have to be patient and keep following up with them by phone for updates (I found the phone customer service team to be extremely helpful).

Also if they resolve your certificate is equivalent to less than you actually graduated for then there is no conversation or mutual understanding, clarification that you can do afterwards. Once they decide is pretty much ditto. The shipping updates may not be real time. Watch for writing your full name because the Accreditation will have that and they won’t change even if your passport and certifications match that full name. Online you can follow the status. It doesn’t say in addition to your marksheet you also need the title translated but you do, so add it.
