step 2: Request your University to issue you the transcripts. Please check your university website/give them a call and understand how to request transcripts.

wanted to discuss the above step for issuing transcripts from Mumbai University. I am currently in USA and I am not sure how i would be getting the universities and colleges to send the transcripts to CIC. All my originals are with me.
I have done Masters and Bachelors - Is the transcript for just Masters sufficient? or will I also need to get the Bachelors transcripts from the college(affiliated with Mumbai University only)

Can I show USA degree equivalency which comes with the H1B visa package? Will that work?

please advise. Thanks.

No, USA degree equivalency will not be accepted.

As per CIC requirement, you just need to get your highest degree assessed, but since WES does not charge by the number of degrees that are being assessed, it would be advisable to send all all degrees or diplomas from Bachelors onwards. This will help in case where WES does not assess some foreign Masters equivalent to Canadian Masters.

Since you are the US, you can send scanned copies of your mark sheets and certificates to your friends or relatives in India and they can take a printout and get the same attested/request for transcripts on your behalf from the university. Once everything is ready, they can either snend it to WES directly, or they can send it to you and you can send it to WES.

Thanks. But everywhere I am reading it requires original mark sheets. Or in your/others experience even the scanned copies also worked?

In my case, I went personally, so I carried the originals with me. May be in your case, you can send notarized copies of your certificate (to prove its authenticity) along with few photocopies of your marksheets (not notarized), with a letter authorizing the person appearing on your behalf to collect the sealed envelope (with transcripts). Also, please mention in the letter why you cannot provide the originals, instead highlight the fact that you are submitting notarized copies.

Hi,

Just wanted to check if you were able to get the transcripts prepared using the scanned marksheets copy?
I'm in the same position, i live in USA and have all marksheets with me here. I am looking for a service to help me get transcripts using the scanned marksheets. I don't want to send my originals by mail.
