Hello

I'm in the process of applying for my ECA for Express Entry application. The ECA package consists of an online report and a official paper report that will be delivered.
There is quite a big difference in fees between the standard and international courier option ($7 v $85)
If I select standard, will I get the online report sooner and will it have all the information I require for EE application, i.e eca reference/report number?
Another option is my sister in-law lives in Canada, could I get the paper report sent there? She could then scan and send a copy to me.

Thank you in advance

I would suggest to pay $85 and avoid unnecessary problem.

Online report doesn't depend on the mode of the delivery. If you want save buck but fine with longer waiting period for the delivery by std post.. go ahead

Hi
I applied for ECA through online payment on january 1st and the documents which i sent reached on 6th jan. Yesterday when i opened 'MY Account' on WES website, I found that 'Status: Documents received - review in progress'. So what would be the minimum number of days taken to evaluate and what would be the time for the report to be generated and sent. I gave a standard delivery on return of the report. Could some one tell if the estimated time for evaluation is done and report generates by 15th jan by any chance.

Thanks

Hi Rajesh,

Based on what I saw in the WES website it will take around 20 business days.

Hello Guys
First of al let me start by the second question as per my experience few weeks back ;
As per WES for example it takes 20 business days however they assessed my papers in 3 business days after receiving my documents and sent back to me which took another 3 business days

Regarding the first question ; I have read that standard might be ok but CIC might ask for specific FSW assessment and you might need to reassess your papers again so it is advised to do the one with the higher price
Thanks

I am preparing to apply for ECA. If name on my degrees is different than my current name (due to marriage) what do i need to do? Do i request an ECA report from the designated organizations in my old or current name?

ECA will be done with the same name as per your diploma, no need to change the name while doing ECA. After getting ECA and everything else you will just need a notarized copy of your marriage certificate.

Dear Friends,

I sent degree certificate to WES one week before via courier as a applicant, I got a confirmation email from the courier company that the doc has been delivered but WES still did not update my account as 'doc received'... it is still showing Not Receieved.

Unfortunately, I forgot to include WES reference # on the envelope but mentioned it on all documents inside the folder. Does this delay the process?

Hi cool_canada,

there is no need to include the envelope sent to WES. They have already opened a file for you. The problem is that they have been a little slow on January.
