ECA - Do I need to send them my original documents to get the Educational Assessment?

[Sheyenne]

Hello Folks,

I am preparing myself to apply the Express Entry soon under CEC. My question is that I started to follow up the requriements for the Educational Assessment (since I have foreign diploma), and all the organizations (including WES) says that I need to send my original document for my Academic record though a sealed envelope by post.

The problem is, I am already in Canada, but my academic record is in Hungary, Europe. I am not quite sure yet what would be the best way to do it, I need to chew myself though for a lot of information, but now it seems very complicated to send a very valuable document across the Ocean during the Pandemic. There is any solution without sending the original document? I have everything scanned, this is the only bump in the road.

Thanks for the answers.

You sign a waiver authorising your university to communicate your transcript directly to WES (or whoever). They prefer that the documents not come from you, to prevent any possibility of tampering.

Thank you, since then I already wrote my institution. I am waiting for their answer.
