Wrong application type selected for WES ECA.

[Vinit Hundare]

Hi Everyone,

While creating your profile on WES you get 2 options at the "select an application" step:
1) WES Standard Application
2) ECA Application for IRCC

I should have selected option 2) but instead I chose option 1) by mistake as I created the profile way before my research started just to see what all details I'd need. Moreover, I went ahead and filled all the necessary details and paid $150 (instead of $200 for ECA).

I realized the difference when I started creating my wife's profile and the options, recipients and fees were completely different. I also tried logging into my profile and see if there is any option to upgrade from WES Standard Application to ECA but couldn't find any.

I have written to WES and even tried calling them several times but no one answers the phone there. I searched over the net as well to see if someone came across the same issue but couldn't find anything.

Can anyone please help if you know what should I do in this case?

Hi,

I dropped them a query with all the details via their contact us form on the website. After few weeks they updated my application to the correct one and I could see balance due which was the difference amount between the two types.

Bottom line they can fix it from the back end. You just need to drop them a query and a few follow ups.

I realised this mistake before making payment and have already sent them a mail. so should I proceed with payment and wait for their reply??? will the correction take extra time?

When you first paid your fee, what was shown as the purpose of payment? for me its student even though I chose immigration.
