Education Credential Process

[farhan22]

Dear All,

Kindly help me with following

1-I want to know step by step procedure for attestation of credentials from World Education Service(WES) for Pakistani national to apply under Federal skilled worker immigration program.

2-Please be noted i attested my degree ,Matric & FSC degree from HEC back in 2006.Am i required to re attest them again?

3-Do i need to attest my spouse education certificate also to gain points?

4-Kindly compare WES vs CES(i want process which is less hectic)...as i am currently based outside of my home country.

I shall be thankful to you for your feedback.

First of all, please avoid using WES, according to several users on this forum, WES takes a long time to process ECA. I suggest IQAS, they are faster.
2-If you had your degree assessed in 2006, that's more than 11 years ago. I'm not 100% certain but I think you might need to get a more recent assessment.
3-Check the CRS calculator to determine (based on your spouse's level of education) whether you will gain more points. If so, then your spouse also needs to get their degree assessed.
4-I have not heard of CES. I just know from several users on this forum that WES processing is extremely slow. As far as whether IQAS or WES is better at accurately assessing Pakistani education credentials, I do not know. I have seen some posts on this forum discussing that so I encourage you to search the forum for such posts. Here are some examples I found:
