This is counter mail i received from IQAS
Thank you for your email.
If you have used a courier, you can track the delivery of your items to IQAS through your courier. IQAS receives a high volume of applications every day and it may take longer than a month for IQAS to send you an email confirming the delivery of your items. Please check with your courier service to confirm delivery and keep a copy of your courier information for your records. IQAS is currently opening, recording and processing mail that was delivered the week of April 16th.
IQAS will provide status updates only in these three stages:
1st update: Mailed application package is received and processed by IQAS. Application package has to include: the signed application form, proof of payment, photocopies of your completed diploma / degree certificate; translations of all educational documents if they’re not in English (do not need to be certified); proof of name (such as a photocopy of a government-issued identity document) and a proof of name change (if applicable). Where official transcripts are delivered, but no signed application form is received and processed, the first status update will not be emailed to you.
2nd update: All official transcript(s) are received from the issuing institution(s). This update is provided only after all transcripts are received, processed and recorded. For applications with multiple transcripts, IQAS will not provide a status update per delivery of each individual transcript. Further, where official transcripts are delivered, but no signed application form is received and processed, the first status update will be delayed until the application package arrives.
3rd update: Assessment is complete. An electronic copy of the assessment is sent to the email address on the application form.
For approximate IQAS processing times, please visit
www.alberta.ca/iqas-immigration.aspx. Assessment of some applications may take longer if extensive research is required. Mail delivery time is not calculated in the processing time. Processing times may vary based on the volume of applications received.
