Does the College accept documents from World Education Services?

Yes. If you have requested an evaluation from World Education Services (WES) and had your original transcripts or documents sent to them directly from the granting institution, you could ask them to provide a copy of these to us.

Once requested, WES will share your documents with us after your WES evaluation is complete. Upon receipt, we will review your documents and determine if they meet our requirements. You will be advised if more information is needed.

Note: Although we will accept your original transcripts or documents sent to WES directly from the granting institution, we do not accept assessments of your qualifications made by WES or other organizations.

To arrange to have copies of your documents sent to us from WES, please follow these steps:

1. Go to wes.org and Log in to My Account
2. Under ‘Completed’ click on ‘Order Duplicate Standard’
3. At ‘Select Purpose’ select ‘Professional License/Certification’
4. At ‘Add Recipients’ search for ‘Ontario College of Teachers’ or ‘Ordre des enseignantes et enseignants de l’Ontario’
5. Under ‘Delivery Options’ select Standard (there will be no mail sent out as the documents will be shared electronically with the college)
6. Review your request, pay the applicable fees, and submit.
