Egyptian Document Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) & Sealed Envelope Attestation

Whether you are applying for Canada PR, seeking employment, or pursuing further studies, Sheen Services provides a comprehensive guide and expert assistance to ensure your documents are properly attested and assessed by IRCC-approved organizations.

Many credential evaluation agencies, including World Education Services (WES), require that academic documents be sent directly from the issuing institution or the HEC in a sealed envelope. This process ensures the integrity and authenticity of the documents
