Hi. I had applied for official transcripts for my PG and UG degrees to be send to WES Canada through MG university. WES separately had asked me to send copies of both Degree certificates to them which i did by post. MGU send my OT to WES later on, but WES asked for re-verification of not only my OTs but also my Degree certificates to MGU.
i got request from MGU to pay $200 for 4 certificates re-verification. i told them i had applied for 2 only..but they said they got request from WES for 4 cert’s and i paid $200…after 10 days i called MGU to enquire abt the status of the re-verification. I was told then that only my OTs could be re-verified and my degree certificates could not be re-verified by MGU as i had not applied for its verification in the first place….The very same thing that i had told MGU initially…the MGU assistant gave the phone number of the section officer and i explained the matter to him, for which he explained a very complicated process in a very hasty manner, half of which i didn’t understand…He asked me to visit MGU in person if possible, to sort things out.
i went to MGU and I explained the issue to the enquiry at the entrance of MGU and i was told by the officer that i need to apply for the verification of degree certificates which i hadn’t done and when the re-verification of the same comes about later i can produce the receipt of the re-verification payment i had already made at that point of time…But i was asked to go to the concerned dept’s to make sure..As such i went to the concerned PG dept section and i was told at the enquiry there to call the concerned officer and ask him what to do…i called the same Section officer to whom i had previously talked…And to my shock, this guy started shouting at me for no reason saying he had explained to me everything the other day etc.. and said he will come down to meet me in person….This person comes down and continues his tirade at me to which i could not do any thing but listen….when i got a small opportunity in between to talk, i told him about the advice i got from the officer at the first entrance about applying for degree certs verification first and later producing the challan of re-verification which i had already paid later on when i am asked to pay re-verification fees. Then only this ‘most amazing’ human being understood how simply things can be done and then he calmed down a little….All this time he was advising through his shouting was to apply to some Asst. Registrar to convert the extra $100 i paid ( due to the mistake on their part), for re-verification which has not been done yet, as the first verification payment for the degree certificates….A very complicated procedure…I told him, sir, let that extra $100 be with MGU..i will make new payment for degree verification and later when MGU asks again for re-verification,i’ll produce the e-receipt of payment already made and done with it…..
WES has made the whole transcripts thing bloody complicated..They think its a walk in the park going to Universities in India to get whatever documents they want as and when they demand…what they really don’t know or care is what the applicants have to go through going to the universities (a glimpse of which is explained above). I am not saying all officers are bad..there were some very good ppl who gave the correct direction. But eventually i had to face some really bad experience…I had appointed an agent who took a lot of money from me but didn’t do his job properly…I am a Canadian PR and i had applied for transcripts again to get my teaching license in Ontario which i routed through WES because i thought in the future if i have to send my transcripts again to some other body in Canada i can make use of the ICAP package of WES…never knew they had introduced re-verification steps n all that, which was absent when i applied for my ECA report 5 years back….
Now all i have to do is apply for the genuineness verification of my both my degree certificates online, make the payment and wait in patience for MGU to send the same to WES and when WES asks MGU to reverify, MGU will contact me (God knows when) for payment of re-verification and that point of time, i will show them the receipt of money i already paid in advance for the re-verification of degree certificates…Well this is my strategy..Hope MGU doesn’t raise any objection then…..
Just sharing my experience.. May God help u all in ur MGU-WES Odyssey….
Sorry to hear this. But it is the stark reality about how messed up these universities are.
Just a point same happened to me as well, for reverification they need not send the degree certificate, ask them to send only transcript part, this will do. Moreover the challan you took gets expired automatically after 30 days. I had faced same issue with my re verification for PG,even after four months they have not forwarded it, you will laugh about the reason, why because they want me to take another challan, the one I took got expired because the section clerk was on leave due to lock down. Certain people their are idiots. Ask them only to send the confirmation for the part of transcript, this will do I guess.
Hi Anand. Thanks very much for the valuable information. Will WES consider the reverification of official transcripts alone for giving a report on equivalency. Wes is also messed up…
Yes I think so because University will only forward the verification of the transcript they performed and the not the certificate I guess, so only 50 USD to be paid for one course.
Its just ridiculous to be treated by them like this. And there is no value for payment we made?? Wow….did u get ur transcripts reverified by MGU? Was WES ok with just transcripts verification??
hi ,
i have submitted all my required documents for the WES on 20 Feb 2020 Till now i haved get any updation regarding whether the documents have couried .
please let me know wether id done or not
Please check with the university.
