As per my understanding, you should call them and ask them for your ECA status update.

my timeline:
Applied: 04-05-2017
confirmation of receipt: 15-06-2017 (after emailing them and ask them about my ECA status update)
email of Certificate: 31 July 2017 after calling them again about my status however on the certificate it is stated that it has been granted on 12 July 2017.

I agree that the people on phone are very nice and helpful.

I am posting this to update everyone on the latest AOR from IQAS regarding my case, so that you can have a general idea how the things are moving at IQAS:-

My Documents were delivered on 02 Aug 2017
Acknowledgement of Receipt Email from IQAS : 25 Aug 2017 (After 17 Business Days)

Also it is important to note that IQAS acknowledged receipt of my documents and of my Academic Documents in one Email. That is probably because I dispatched the envelope from the university and my envelope together as one package.

Another friend also got AOR from IQAS on the same day i-e 25 Aug 2017. So they are still moving as per their promised timelines as far our cases are concerned.

I recommend all those in the process to add your info on the following tracker page. You will also be able to see the progress of others on the same page https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/educational-credential-assessment

So, worry not and keep your spirits high everyone:).

If this info has helped you in anyway please hit like on this post.:) Thanks.

Hello All. Thank you for sharing timelines to help others.

That's True... IQAS is getting slower... As I can see from shared experiences of friends; cases from previous months received the response within 10 days and my documents (Both my package and my university package) reached there since 8th of August and today and after 20 Working days...I am still waiting for any news or confirmation to come :(

On the other hand; my wife who started the ECA process from WES in July has already received her ECA at home today...

To my disappointment and frustration; this is also truly mentioned by one of the friends above that they have increased their time in their disclaimer as well.
When I applied, the processing time was 30 working days after receiving all documents. (I was pretty happy about that)
Current processing time is 9-10 weeks after receiving all the documents (I am really unhappy to see this drastic increase in processing time...)

Don't worry brother. Things will get faster from this week onwards as summer vacations are getting over and people will be back to work.

You can call IQAS and check about the status of your application. It happened with me that my ECA was ready and they sent me once i called them.

Guys if you can go for WES, try to avoid IQAS!
I chose IQAS only to avoid intermediate board documentation (Because of the lengthy and bureaucratic process at board) but IQAS is now wasting my time and they increased the time from 30 days to 10 weeks which is more than 3 times...This is disappointing.
