Normally university only forwards the transcript while we apply for transcription, which means we need to send the degree certificate to WES directly. So when WES sends for reverification, university only verifies transcript but not the degree certificate, in that scenario what we should do to get the certificate reverified if the certificate was forwarded from our end and not by university.
Hi can u pls assist with above query
Usually, WES asks the university to verify the transcript only, not the certificate.
But my status shows both as pending.
University will contact you and let you know how much need to be paid for each if both verification required as per WES.
Hello.. I have seen a step as “For WES Canada, 2 copies of Academic Records Request Form and color copy of degree certificate to be sent to WES along with transcript. “. Will the university sent the colour copy of marksheets which we give to WES along with the transcripts ?
Sometimes they will, but most time they will not as it will be seen as an authentic document sent by University they will not do. So you have send it separately via POST.
Hai..
Will the university attach the color copy of the degree certificate submitted to them by us (with the 2 copies of Academic request form) along with the transcripts and send it as one single courier to WES Canada? Or is that something that needs to be actioned seperately?
It seems they no longer send this as it will mean it was a genuine copy send by the university. However, you can pay additional cost to ask university to verify the copy of the degree and send it.
Okay…Is there an option to pay for it online through the link that you’ve provided or do we need to pay for it seperately?
Can I send my documents to the University via Post?
No, someone needs to go there in person and apply for transcript.
How much time does it take for transcript to reach WES Canada from University VIA post and Courier
Normal post 3 weeks. Speed post 7-10 days.
WES has forwarded my documents for re verification to the university. I have read your article on this but what should I do if still I have not received email from University to pay the extra fees.
You have to wait for their email. If you still not getting any communication after 2 weeks, contact university information centre or the department where you submit the transcript application.
I have received the email from mg university to pay the fees of 50usd. But pls note WES has forwarded both my B com and mcom for re verification, if I read your article correctly it should be 50 each. But they requested only for 50 usd now. Do I need to wait until I receive another email or is it ok if I pay the whole amount now.
Since both are different departments, you may get another email from MG. For the time being, pay the $50 and send the receipt.
