WES ECA for Canada PR (India) – Confused about transcript submission, NSDC Trust & electronic verification (2025–2026)

[jnaneswar]

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing my Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) through WES for Canada PR, and I'm planning to complete the entire process on my own without using an immigration consultant.

My educational background is:

• B.Tech – JNTU Kakinada
• M.Tech – IIT (ISM) Dhanbad

I'm getting conflicting information about the current WES documentation process, and I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have completed it recently.

I've come across three different versions of the process:

1. The university has to send official transcripts in a sealed envelope directly to WES.
2. The university sends the documents electronically to WES.
3. Documents can be verified and shared digitally through NSDC Trust, without the need for sealed envelopes.

I'm confused about which process is currently being followed and whether it depends on the university.

I'd really appreciate if anyone who has completed WES recently could share their experience.

My questions are:

• Which method was used for your WES document submission?
• Did you have to request official transcripts from your university, or were your existing documents sufficient?
• Was everything completed online, or did you have to visit your university in person?
• Has anyone used NSDC Trust for WES? If yes, how was your experience?
• Did WES ask for any additional documents after the initial submission?
• How long did the entire ECA process take, from creating the WES account to receiving the evaluation?
• Were there any unexpected issues or delays that you wish you had known about beforehand?
• If you were starting the process again today, is there anything you would do differently?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you!
