The 57th draw happened just a little while back with a cut off of 441.

Did you make it?

I'm sorry, just curious as to why so many people use WES? I'm using IQAS, they *claim* 15 business days turnaround, though they've recently been hinting about delays due to considerably higher volume of applications.

I wish i had not chosen WES, given the long processing time. Status changed to 'Evaluation in progress' on 25th March. Lets see how much longer it takes..

What is your current status?

I would say avoid WES if you can...they are taking wayyy too long now. I think IQAS is getting ECA done in a better time frame

Everyone chose WES because it was quite popular and had an easy process. Also, it is an international organization and many people had previous experience of using it while applying in USA. They also had option to check the status online, which I read somewhere IQAS did not have before. So the obvious choice for people was WES. But now, they are taking a lot of time for ECA. Its better to explore the alternate organizations as they have changed their process to make it simple and quicker.
