Hi,
Can someone recommend me a reliable agent to consult for Canada PR process?

 

[Heshan]

I ordered for my UK postgraduate transcript and received them today. However, I’m afraid it does not meet WES’s requirements: not in official university envelope, no seal, no signature. It’s just a brown envelope with a cello tape across the flap. I’m not sure if WES would accept this. Also, can’t be sure if the brown envelope contains another envelope lol.

Definitely, WES will not accept this one according to your first point.

A you said, there may be another envelope inside that envelope which was made according to the correct requirements. You need to confirm that from the university. Generally, all the reputed universities are aware about these procedures. So, I don't think they just sent the docs for the sake of sending.

I checked with the university and they actually placed the transcripts in the brown envelope. No second envelope. But I stressed on how important it is to adhere to WES requirements (which I did anyway when ordering the transcripts) and this time they agreed to resend it in the required way, if I could return back the transcripts. That’s a good thing as I don’t have to pay for it again phew. Fingers crossed they don’t mess it up this time.

Ordering transcripts from some foreign universities is such a stressful process

Ok, hopefully they will send it correctly second time.

In my case, I have done my MBA from a university in Australia. So, they have sent the transcript directly to the WES.
They charged me a fee for that service. However, it took almost one month to complete the process...

First of all congratulations for the strong IELTS scores in rest of the modules...

I had the experiences of doing IELTS in both BC and ACBT. There is not much of a difference between these two institutes. But, I prefer ACBT over BC considering the 3 day workshop they conducted prior to the examination. It helped me a lot in knowing some exam tips.

Actually, when it comes to writing, you need to practice very hard and be extra careful on your grammar and spelling mistakes. The .5 mark difference could be due to that. In Reading, please try to practice skim reading to manage time effectively. I think you almost there, just need to be more focused, then you'll be alright...Good Luck...!!!

Your university is awesome! I considered doing that. Seemed very straightforward to have the university send transcripts to WES directly. But I have trust issues with my university haha - can never tell. Glad I asked them to send the transcripts to me, else would have never known about the mishap.

Woah - one month. I guess I can expect the same. This entire process drives me crazy

Any update from your university? Did you receive the transcripts?

I am still waiting after posting the transcripts back to them as they said. There might be a delay due to the season holidays. Just hope they would hurry up!
