I submitted my application on January 28, my transcripts were received on January 29, step 2 completed on February 21, step 1 and 3 completed on October 1. So it seams that indeed they are back to work. Let's hope that it won't take another 8 months to dispatch the decision

My transcript received by them on Feb. 03., about 5 days after yours. Hopefully, my third step would be completed by next Week.

4 March: Application submitted
Transcript stuck at DHL from March 18
1 Jun: hardcopy transcript delivered to CES' site
18 Sep: STEP 2 completed
24 Sep: transcript emailed by my institution
28 Sep: STEP 3-5 completed (the date I checked, no notification email from CES)
1 Oct: Got electronic CES report (after I chat with the agent)

My Advice:
- Ask your university to send the transcript electronically (I think it will help to expedite the process, I regretted for not asking my institution to e-mail CES from the beginning of application)
- If you don't get a reply from email, try use the chat on the web.

Thanks for your info. but I asked my university to send the mail but they said that I will have to request them afresh and submit the fees again to them. I know they will again take 15 says to send and I hope by that time I am gonna get some positive news from Toronto.

I also paid extra fee to my institution. Not much choice I could do, since I need the ECA urgently by this month.
I'm not sure whether it really can help to expedite the process or not. At least I think, the transcript sent by university's official email address will prove the authenticity.
And I always update the status with CES after e-transcript been sent. Hope you'll get it soon. They responded to my email these past days.

They have received your transcript from the university and is under process. Soon, your steps will be started to be shown as being completed when by one.

Dear All,

I have done 2 years bachelors (B.A) and 3 years Masters (MBA). I am applying for Evaluation from University of Toronto CES service. Please guide me about following

1. Should I apply only to evaluate my Masters degree or apply for both Masters degree as well as Bachelors degree ?
2. Do I need the original hard copy of assessment or just email (soft copy) from the evaluator is enough to apply for Canadian Immigration ?

Thanks in Advance
-----------------------------------------------------
Hi Farhan,

Can you please share your experience about your process with CES? I also have 3 years bachelors degree and 3 years masters degree from India. Dow we need to submit both the transcripts or only masters(MCA) (PG) credentials are enough?
