WES application on hold
Hi all,
I've just started getting my documents together for Express Entry to Canada. After requesting my university (Shefflield Hallam) to send the relevant docs to WES, they've let me know that they couldn't find my results transcripts and could only find my actuall final degree certificate. They've verified these, and sent them to WES. WES have now put my request on hold - it only states that they're waiting on my results transcript.
It's sort of a catch 22 - has anyone experienced this, what do I do now? Any help would be amazing ...
Thanks
Julie

Hi julesgill,
Sorry to hear that, it can be a fraught process for ECA. I know of a similar case here: Educational Credential Assessment

Thanks Luke for the reply. I ended up calling both my university and WES to see if there was something that I could do.
WES responded with no, as they need the breakdown to ascertain how I achieved my degree.
My university have said well send another email as they could take another look and find partial results.
I've sent a begging email to them to find the results any way possible!
It's ridiculous as they found my sisters results who graduated a year before me!!!
Wish me luck ... now let me see what else I need to do to be able to get my Express Entry application completed ... it's not remotely simple is it!
Thanks again

I do indeed wish you the greatest of luck there. No it's not a simple process. Here's hoping you get your wish and get a successful application.
Cheers

Re: WES application on hold
As an ex-academic I'd suggest writing to the head of school (or department) at which you studied. They are more likely to have the detailed breakdown of your results than the central administration, and might well be more helpful; I'd guess it would be useful if they sent that information to your contact in the university administration, who could then hardly fail to take action on it!

Re: WES application on hold
They should at least be able to rebuild a transcript based off their records of your degree path and the modules that you studied with them. That's just frankly unacceptable on the part of Sheffield Hallam really.

Re: WES application on hold
Hello and welcome to BE!
How frustrating for you
They say they can 'recreate' the transcript and where there are gaps will explain to the requesting body - if all else fails that may be an option..
Best of luck

Please be aware that if your transcript request is for a period of study prior to 2003 the University relies on paper based examination board records. In these cases we will make reasonable efforts to collate the transcript but please allow plenty of time before submitting your request.
Where there are gaps in our records we will aim to provide syllabus information and a letter explaining any gaps to a third party if necessary. Where the University is unable to provide a full transcript, a refund will be offered.

Transcripts
We aim to provide you with a transcript, listing your modules and marks, within 4 weeks.
However, please be aware that if your transcript request is for a period of study prior to 2003 the University relies on paper based examination board records alone to collate results and produce a transcript. The University is currently digitising these records and they are in different states of completeness and preservation. If the data relating to your period of study is not yet in digital format we will make reasonable efforts to collate the information in order to produce a transcript.

- I need my Results Transcript as part of my application to WES. What do I need to do?
You need to complete an Academic Records Request Form from the World Education Services website and email it to [email protected]. This form needs to be accompanied by a scanned copy of your Award Certificate for us to attest, and a copy of your Results Transcript (which you can order here).
