Hi all,

I'm from Russia and I decided to use CES to assess my education for Canadian Immigration programs. I've paid all the fees online and submitted my ECA Application on 23rd of January 2017. My university also sent my Official Academic Records to CES and the tracking number shows that it was received by the CES on 23rd of January 2017.

But there is no sign that my transcript was received by the CES in my online account. The initial review also hasn't been started yet. I sent them 3 email messages regarding the status of my application and whether they received my official academic records, but didn't get any answers from them.

I'm wondering is it okay or should I call them already and ask to find my documents? At which point the status of my application in the online account should change?

Yes, it's okay to call them and make enquires. It's hard to say as all the ECA agencies are working through huge customer requests at this time but from interaction with other applicants, ICAS seems to complete ECA in under 3 weeks or so. WES can take up to 3 months in some instances.

In my case, they took 5 months and only 2 weeks before, everything showed up there. Regarding call, they don't answer. I tried number of times and all went in vain. Good luck to you
