Is there still a fluctuation stage while the status is in final review? While loading the page, status shows completed, but reverts back to final review, it's called fluctuation stage, and there used to be a workaround for downloading the report before it was available after a few days when status starts saying "complete (download report)".

Hi all, I am new to this forum. I submitted my application in August and transcripts were delivered in September.

The assessment started in October and the current status says on-hold (verifying the authenticity of the documents) since December 2nd. As I read, many of the members received an email from IQAS on how to get the documents verified, but I have not received any such instructions. I understand it has been just a week, but should I reach out to IQAS or my university/college or wait for a few days? Please guide me with this. thank u!!

HODL. IQAS will reach out to you if the university does not answer their queries.

Hi everyone,
I just received my ECA from IQAS for my 2 year post graduate diploma in management (PGDM). IQAS has accredited it as Graduate Diploma with focus in Management. While making express entry profile I have got stuck while filling educational details as while filling Express entry form I cannot find an option for graduate diploma, it only gives an option for 1 year program, 2 year program, bachelors, etc.
So I am confused if to go ahead and select 1 year programe from a university college option or 2 year program from a university college as IQAS has not mentioned anything in terms of years in my certificate.
IQAS has laid out in its rationale that they consider short diploma programs as certificate and long duration such as 2 years as Graduate diploma on their website.
Can someone please help.

Pls wait for a few weeks - usually, IQAS takes a month or so to update the status. If your institutions sent the transcripts through digital mode then the timing will be less (in my case, my PG Diploma transcript was shared by email, and was updated within 2 weeks). But if it is through courier, then pls expect a timeline of more than 4 weeks - my bachelor's degree status was updated after a month post courier delivery.

One more thing - government offices are closed or running at low capacity from Dec 23 to Jan 3 in Canada.

1. So finally what equivalence did you select in your express entry profile?
2. And would you have got the same result has you just submitted your highest degree only? (what was it?)

Hi,
Yet to create and submit my profile. Will do it sometime this year.
To answer your questions.
1. I will select "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years. - This will get me extra points compared to selecting only Bachelors Degree.
2. I would have received the same result had I only submitted my highest degree (Bachelor of Commerce), however I decided to wait for both to be verified, diploma and degree at no extra cost, and get an extra 8 CRS points when I apply.
Hope this answers your query.

Hi There,

I have completed MBA-WX program from NGASCE-NMIMS university. This is a course of 15 months.
Prior to this I have pursued 3 years Bachelors of Science in Information Technology. I have got WES evaluation for it.

If I choose CES or IQAS for evaluating my MBA-WX will they provide Masters Equivalency?

I already tried WES they evaluated it as 4 years Bachelors and for ICES I got below response upon their review:


I am worried if at all CES or IQAS provide similar review as ICES did. I really need Masters Equivalency for my MBA-WX. If someone could help me by anyway will be greatly appreciated.

I'll search for the method for downloading the report.

edit:
People in fluctuation stage you just need to right click on final review and copy link

In the link change Document/DownloadApplicationForm/ to Document/DownloadApplicationFormFromPortal?id= and paste in browser, make sure you are signed into your account before

eg. if link is https://iqas.labour.alberta.ca/FACS/Document/DownloadApplicationForm/e7e42310-a21d-e911-80e6-005056666d03

change it to https://iqas.labour.alberta.ca/FACS/Document/DownloadApplicationFormFromPortal?id=e7e42310-a21d-e911-80e6-005056666d03

and paste it in your browser. I don't why would someone keep it secret and keep responding to messages
