What an ECA body needs from a Pakistani applicant
Degree verification from Pakistan, including complete WES verification Pakistan document preparation, is the Pakistan-side work behind the Educational Credential Assessment that IRCC accepts. If you are applying through Express Entry or a Provincial Nominee Program, you need an ECA report showing how your Pakistani degree maps to the Canadian education system.
The document route depends on your chosen body and your institution. Some files use HEC verification and a sealed HEC envelope, while others call for a direct record from the university. We check the instructions before the file moves and arrange the applicable route under your reference number.
Which body should you pick? WES is the most popular because it usually reports fastest. IQAS is run by the Alberta government, costs less, and is preferred for Alberta PNP. ICAS covers some universities that WES and IQAS do not list. IRCC accepts all three, and the report is valid for 5 years. We check whether your university is covered before you pay anything.
We handle the Pakistan-side filing and international mailing. You create your own account on the body you choose, pay its fee, and share the reference number with us. Our part usually takes 7 to 10 working days after the document route is confirmed; the assessor evaluation runs separately on the Canadian side and depends on its queue.

What degree verification customers told us
Feedback from Pakistani applicants who used us for their ECA document route.
"For Express Entry I needed WES done properly. They checked my institution route, prepared the degree and transcript in the required format, and shipped direct. The report showed in my WES account about three weeks later."
Dr. Ali Murtaza
Lahore
"I was already in Toronto when WES turned urgent. Attestdone checked the institution instructions, coordinated pickup with my brother back home, and couriered to WES. I watched each step on WhatsApp from here."
Fatima Hussain
Faisalabad
"My PNP file needed IQAS rather than WES. They checked the institution instructions, prepared the sealed package for Edmonton, and finished their part in roughly ten working days. The rest was just waiting on Alberta."
Rizwan Sheikh
Gujranwala
"IQAS moves slower than WES but cost me less, which mattered on a tight budget. Attestdone managed the required Pakistan-side filing and overseas courier without trouble, and IRCC accepted the report. Just plan for the longer IQAS wait."
Maheen Zafar
Islamabad
"My university was missing from the WES list, so ICAS was my only path to Canada. They checked the institution route and sent the documents to ICAS in Ontario in the format it required. That gave me some calm."
Omar Nawaz
Karachi
"ICAS takes its time, around ten weeks after it gets the documents. Attestdone finished the required Pakistan-side filing and courier to Ontario in eight working days, and IRCC accepted it for Express Entry. The long wait sits with ICAS, not them."

Services that go with degree verification
Some files need HEC attestation for the transcript. Others use a direct university record. Police clearance may also be part of the immigration file.
HEC Degree and Transcript Attestation
HEC’s Degree Attestation System went fully online and paperless on 11 May 2026. There is no counter visit and no original to send. Your degree and transcript are verified digitally against the university record, and HEC issues a downloadable, verifiable e-Attestation Certificate in place of the old stamp. The application runs through the HEC e-Services portal at eservices.hec.gov.pk. We build it from clean scans or photos of your documents, enter your academic record, upload what HEC asks for, and pay the government fee (a route-specific amount per document) online through 1-Link. The degree and transcript are separate applications with separate fees, and we submit them together so both verification cycles run at the same time. The slow step is the university. HEC asks your university to confirm the registration number, year of passing, and grades before it issues the certificate. If the university is slow, our team follows up directly with the registrar so your file does not sit idle. Most people come to us for HEC attestation because they are applying for a Gulf work visa, a Canadian immigration file through WES, IQAS, or ICAS, or a job that needs foreign credential recognition. HEC is the first step in many of these cases. For assessor files, we check the receiving body’s instructions first, because some routes use the HEC e-attestation while others ask the university to send the record directly. When the destination requires MOFA and the embassy to see the physical documents, your originals then move through those steps with the e-certificate on the file. You never send your originals for the HEC step itself. Clean scans are enough, and you get the e-Attestation Certificate the moment HEC issues it, plus WhatsApp updates at every stage.
MOFA Attestation
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the second stamp on any Pakistani document heading overseas. After the issuing body confirms the document (HEC for degrees, IBCC for school certificates, NADRA for personal documents), MOFA adds its own stamp that confirms the prior verification. MOFA runs two routes. The traditional attestation feeds into the embassy step for non-Hague destinations like the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Malaysia. The apostille route is a single stamp valid in Hague Convention member states that accept Pakistani apostilles, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, China, the UK, Australia, and others. Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland are members but objected to Pakistan's accession, so the apostille is not accepted there and we verify each case with the receiving office. Pakistan acceded to the Hague Convention, and the apostille route entered into force on 9 March 2023. Our main office is in Lahore, where we coordinate intake, customer support, and nationwide dispatch. MOFA operates from offices in Lahore and Islamabad, so we file at the location that fits your document and route. Legal documents such as power of attorney, court orders, and affidavits, and commercial documents such as board resolutions, certificates of origin, and export invoices, run separate tracks at MOFA with their own fees and timelines. Legal papers must be notarised first. Commercial papers must be verified by the Chamber of Commerce or SECP before MOFA will accept them. Both classes are covered on this page. Personal and educational documents run 2 to 3 working days at MOFA, and legal and commercial files 3 to 5. Express service can finish in about a day for eligible files.
Police Character Certificate (PCC)
A Police Character Certificate, commonly known as a police character certificate Pakistan clearance document, is the independent proof of a clean record that almost every immigration route demands. Canada, the UK, Australia, and the Gulf all ask for it. The main work is local police verification at your own district, which is where most delays sit. The police check their records, confirm your address history, and issue the character certificate through the district office. Once issued, MOFA attests the certificate and the destination embassy stamps it for overseas use. Because each country wants its own attested copy, a multi country file means separate certificates run through each embassy. We handle the district police filing on your behalf, then route the issued certificate through MOFA and the embassy. You provide your CNIC, passport copy, and address history. The timeline depends mostly on how fast your district police office responds.

Canada
Express Entry profiles and provincial immigration streams require an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) from designated bodies such as WES, IQAS, or ICAS. These organisations demand verified transcripts in sealed institutional envelopes matching your exact reference number, while IRCC requires apostilled civil records and police clearances. We manage the university registrar coordination, HEC verification, and MOFA apostille workflow.
