I sent my documents from US thru USPS First Class mail on Thursday 6th Mar 2018
Package reached Canada and 2 deliveries were attempted by Canada Post on 14th Mar and 15th Mar. But they updated the status as "no recipient was available to sign and collect the package". Meanwhile I tried contacting WES, USPS, Canada post many times. But no one really helped me.
Finally package was delivered on 19th Mar.
WES status is still on hold waiting for my documents. Have reached out to WES couple of times again. But no response.
Can someone please tell me
1) when will my status be updated as docs received
2) what is the approximate timeline for each phase in the rest of the life cycle until I get my WES ECA final report.
Thanks in advance!!
Hi, it's probably best if you settle in for a 5-6-week timeline with WES.
My documents were signed for by WES on 10 Oct, and it was 'on-hold' for about 10 days before anyone even marked it 'received'.
I received their email that the final report is available for viewing on 14 Nov (after 36 days). I was able to download a copy of the report from my WES profile, but they also sent a paper copy of the report via UPS on the same day.
Your online WES account will be updated during the assessment process, so check it regularly.
Since there are only a few companies accepted by CIC to do this type of assessment for immigration purposes, they are very busy, so patience is key. If you contact them to find out about the progress of your paperwork, it can take 5 days or more before they respond.
Another point I wanted to make is that that WES has 3 different addresses (Canada and US) where one can send one's documents, and I think they might (physically) transfer some files from one address to another, so there is a good chance for delays simply by getting these packages into the right hands.
I hope you get your final report soon!
