Dear pointers:

If you have already gone for IQAS for the ECA, could you kindly guide me with how you made the payment as I do not have the credit card. How many days did they take and were you satisfied with their report? I'd be really grateful for any information you can provide regarding this. Thanks.

Hi

I am from Pakistan and need ECA. Please note that -- MY UNIVERSITY IS NOT REGISTERED IN WES-- and for fastest evaluation which organization should I used. I heard that IQAS is doing evaluation is 10 working days. Please advise.

Regards

Hi,

I applied via IQAS and made payment with my debit card.
They took 10 business days to process the assessments on receiving all the documents. They also notify with emails through the process.

Aditya

So I went with WES as recommended by a friend and didn't really have any problems for my degree in the UK. My wife's degree in Brasil also went through fine.

My only complain is that they are a pain to get in contact with, they provide this online form and they don't really answer your question, for example, they asked for sealed transcripts and at the same time these had to be translated... It turns out you need to get two, one sealed and one translated and send both, but I found that out form an agent and not from them... They were UNABLE to answer this simple question..

So good timely service but at the same time extremely unhelpful!

Hello Aditya

I need your help please. I am going to apply to IQAS for ECA. They have different required documents list over different forms/places of website which gets me confusing. My question to you is:

- With my application, should I send all the original documents as well? I need ECA for my PhD degree only, so do I need to send all original documents starting from school onwards?
- If I send the original documents, then is it necessary for me to ask university to send transcripts in sealed envelop?

If you can share your experience, it would be so helpful. thanks...

Hi,

You don't need to send the original documents, only transcripts and photocopies. I guess you may have mistakenly referred to the eca for employment link.

Please refer the below link.

WES seems the most popular here and hence even I got mine done with WES. The issue with WES is that its a hit or miss. IF you are lucky, everything goes well. In my wifes case, they said her college is unrecognized when it is AICTE approved. So thats a loss of 30 points there!

I am now planning to try CES or IQAS. Based on feedback, they respond to emails etc. WES is notorious for not responding to any queries!

Hello Friends,

I am planning to migrate to Canada under Federal Skilled Worker Program.

As per "Designated organizations for ECAs" listed, where we can go any of the Docs evaluation.

Org are CES, ICAS, IQAS, BCIT or WES.

I have ready WES is the best to go with for Docs evaluation but unfortunately WES does not show my university (which is Himalayan University - India) in there list..

Kindly advice which all are the other options [CES, ICAS, IQAS, BCIT or WES?] I can consider for my docs evaluation which should be accepted by Canada Visa under "Federal Skilled Worker Program"

Your valuable reply will be highly appreciated,

Thanks in advance for your support.

Had absolutely no trouble with WES. Couriered them my transcripts around 20th Dec and got ECA report by 16th Jan 2018.. Yes getting in touch with them isn't very user friendly..Over all good experience..
