For law firms and immigration agencies: leave credential evaluation to specialists
When a client’s credential evaluation stalls, the whole application stalls. Hand us that step so your team can focus on the legal work and the file itself. We reply within 12 hours, 24 at the latest, and are available for a voice call any time.
The firms and agencies we work with
Immigration law firms
Express Entry, provincial nominations, U.S. work visas and green cards: all need an evaluation. Stop spending your team’s hours chasing CHSI, schools and evaluators.
Licensed immigration consultants
When a client’s ECA stalls it is usually a hard case: a vocational school, a closed school, a name mismatch. Pass it to us and keep working on strategy.
Study-abroad agencies
When a client needs a transcript evaluation for U.S. or Canadian schools, we handle retrieval, translation, evaluation and delivery.
We do one thing, and do it well
Clear division of labour: we do the credential-evaluation step only. We do not give legal or immigration advice, assess a client’s eligibility or points, or file any immigration or visa application for them. The client relationship stays yours; we work with you and give a feasibility view and risk notes on the evaluation itself.
| Client need | What we handle | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Canadian immigration (Express Entry, provincial programmes…) | ECA through WES or CES | Both are IRCC-designated organisations. Which one, and which documents, depends on the client’s case; always confirm against current official requirements. |
| U.S. work visa, green card, admissions | WES U.S. evaluation | Document-by-document or Course-by-Course; the latter includes a GPA conversion. |
| Hong Kong talent schemes (QMAS, Top Talent Pass) | Qualification Check | About two days in our case, at under half the cost of WES. |
| Chinese authentication documents | CHSI / CSSD retrieval | Degree and diploma authentication reports, transcript authentication, account registration, translation and stamping, EMS delivery. |
| Cases others say “can’t be done” | Difficult cases | Vocational schools, closed schools, name or passport mismatches, lost certificates, self-study or correspondence degrees, overseas degrees. We assess feasibility and give frank risk notes before taking a case. |
Why agencies hand us their cases
Founder-level handling
Not a relayed helpdesk. Zhou Beichen owns your case and can decide on hard problems immediately.
Easy to reach, any time
We reply within 12 hours, 24 at the latest. Email, WeChat or a voice call whenever suits you. We can speak directly with your client, or deal only with you. Bilingual.
Hard cases welcome
The cases you would rather not touch can come to us. 35 public case videos show how we handle them.
Progress you can pass on
You hear at every milestone, so you can always tell your client where things stand.
Client privacy
Documents are used only for the case and deleted afterwards as agreed. No ID numbers needed in a first message.
Chasing and follow-up
We look up progress and chase the evaluator, school or CHSI when needed, and handle disputes if a result is challenged.
Three ways to work, to suit your habits
Referral
Your client contacts Beichen Light directly. We serve them case by case and keep you updated.
Behind the scenes
You front the client and we work in the background. Where the client must act personally, we tell you in advance and you pass it on.
Ongoing partnership
For agencies with steady volume: a fixed point of contact and agreed settlement. Terms depend on volume and case types.
No obligation: refer one case, see whether it suits you, then decide on anything longer-term.
Four steps from case to delivery
Send a case summary
Credential type, school, graduation year, purpose, deadline and blocker. No full document set and no client ID numbers needed.
We assess and reply
A feasibility view, the route, expected timeline and a quote, with risks stated plainly.
You choose how we work, then we start
A short call to align on details and who speaks to the client.
We run it, update you, deliver
Progress at every milestone; on completion the report is delivered and sent to the evaluator or school as required.
What to send first
- The client’s purpose and destination (immigration programme, admissions, work visa)
- Credential type, school and graduation year
- Deadline (for example a submission date or a time limit after an invitation)
- Known blockers: name mismatch, lost certificate, closed school…
- Whether the client already has a CHSI or evaluator account
- Who you want to speak to the client
- The client’s passport or ID number
- Photos or scans of certificates and transcripts
- The client’s name and contact details
Once we start, we agree a safe way to hand over documents. Please confirm you have the client’s consent.
What agencies ask us
Do you give clients immigration or legal advice?
No. We do the credential-evaluation step only. We do not assess a client’s eligibility or points, or file any application for them. Immigration and legal questions remain with you and your team.
When you work behind the scenes, does the client need to know about you?
It depends on how we work together. Behind the scenes, the client deals only with you. But some steps, such as an evaluator account or CHSI verification, sometimes need the client personally; we tell you in advance and you pass it on.
How do you quote and settle?
Per case and by volume, with no published rate card. We are not the cheapest on the market; what you get is founder-level handling, hard-case experience and getting it right the first time. Settlement for an ongoing partnership can be agreed separately.
How long does a case usually take?
For a Chinese degree with WES, historically about six weeks (about four when smooth), longer when school verification is needed. That is experience, not a commitment. A Qualification Check case took about two days.
Can you guarantee approval?
No. The outcome depends on the evaluator’s review. That is why we assess feasibility and state the risks frankly before quoting.
How do you protect client documents?
Documents are used only for the case and deleted afterwards as agreed. For a first message, please do not send ID numbers or identifying documents.
Are you an official partner of WES or CES?
No. Beichen Light is an independent service, not affiliated with WES, CES, Qualification Check, CHSI or any government body.
Send a case summary and we reply with a plan and quote
WeChat or email, whichever you prefer. In your first message please tell us the credential type and school, graduation year, destination and deadline, and where you are stuck. Please do not send passport or ID numbers.
Talk first, decide later
WeChat or email, whichever you prefer. Tell us the case types you meet most and we will propose a way to work together.
We reply within 12 hours, 24 at the latest. Available for a voice call any time. Easy to reach, easy to talk to.
