Great any idea why it took so long ? You were connected with them over call or email ?

I called only once and got the standard response that it's in process. The thing i experienced and heard from folks that to inquire about your processing time never speed up your ECA process, As far as i believe, to ask about your ECA can only satisfy your own self. They consume time as per their defined set of standards and regardless of priorities for any single individual.

I know very well the situation of any individual in between sending documents and waiting desperately for ECA. :):) So... keep your hopes alive and have a faith on SOMETHING AWESOME IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN

Dear All,

my University documents were reached IQAS before my application and 1st AOR stating below, is this is their usual mail or are they waiting for my university docs as well, please advise from your experiences.

This is to confirm that your application was received by the IQAS office. Once the academic documents you requested from your institution arrive in our office we will send you a second email and your file will be placed in line for processing. Ourcurrent processing times are posted on the IQAS website: www.work.alberta.ca/iqas

This is very standard email from them, i got the same mail from them and i believe every individual got this mail who applied through IQAS. Applicants receive such standard emails from them, so nothing unusual.

One thing i want to mention that they may require your identification documents even if you already sent to them. Keep viewing their emails carefully and promptly response ONLY if they require any of your documents again. But again this depends upon situation or their requirement & doesn't apply to all applicants. Cheers

They are just copy pasting replies.... .:eek:

Hi Guys,
I just want to share with you the excellent service we had with IQAS. After I sent my application, my brother called their office if they can expedite our result as we are only given until march 22 by OINP to submit the ECA from IQAS. IQAS said they can only expedite if there’s a job offer already which we did not have but only the the pending nomination from OINP. On that same day we emailed IQAS and sent them the screenshot of the Email from OINP and begged them if they could do something. They replied after a day, located my application and already put it for processing.

Timeline:
Docs reached: Feb 20.
AOR: March 7
Soft Copy: March 14 (with notes that Assessment done on March 7)
Hard Copy: waiting..

It could only mean that they do rush processing just provide a valid proof. If no proof then you will have to go through regular processing times.

My advice.. it its better if you could put together your application docs and the university docs in one envelope so u will only received 1 AOR both for your application and University documents.

And always be NICE and POLITE when dealing with them.
