Thinking about moving to Canada, studying abroad or getting your Pakistani qualifications recognized on a global scale? If so, you’ll need to have your educational documents attested and sealed. These documents must be accepted by WES, IQAS, ICAS, or CES. These are the key credential evaluation services that immigration departments, foreign universities and professional licensing authorities rely on.
What are WES, IQAS, ICAS and CES?
These are foreign credential assessment agencies that compare your Pakistani education to the Canadian or U.S. education systems:
| WES | World Education Services | Required for Express Entry (Canada), USA universities |
| IQAS | International Qualifications Assessment Service | Immigration & PR in Alberta, Canada |
| ICAS | International Credential Assessment Service of Canada | Academic & employment purposes |
