Are you planning to study or migrate abroad from the UAE? Then WES equivalency is your first step towards global academic and professional recognition. In this detailed guide, we explain what WES equivalency is, why it’s important, and how Al-Hamd Legal Translation can assist you in making the process stress-free and efficient.
✅ What Is WES Equivalency?
WES (World Education Services) equivalency is a process that evaluates academic degrees earned outside of Canada or the USA and compares them to the academic standards of these countries. It’s an essential step for students applying for universities or professionals seeking skilled migration.
In the UAE, WES equivalency documents are often required for:
International university admissions
Canadian immigration (Express Entry)
Job applications in North America
Visa or PR applications
Qualification recognition by foreign employers
🎯 Why Is WES Equivalency Important for UAE Students and Professionals?
Global Recognition: It allows your academic achievements to be recognized internationally.
Mandatory for Immigration: Countries like Canada and the USA require WES evaluation for PR applications.
University Admissions: Many universities need a WES report before offering admission.
Faster Processing: Speeds up application approvals for jobs and visa processing abroad.
