WES ECA status on Hold
- Thread starter burm7793
- Start date
Don’t worry. It could take a day or two for the report to come as they have quite a huge backlog because of this verification leg. My husband was committed his report on 19th June and it only came really late on the 20th. Do update us when the report comes! Delays in Friday reports are more frustrating I can well imagine, as you would now need to wait 2 more days till the Monday ;( Hang in there, and best of luck with the ECA report
Last week, my wes status changed to ‘on hold’ for my MBA, as it needs to be further verification from my university( Madurai Kamaraj University). Thereafter, within couple of days I was able to communicate with the university personnel. They told me that, they haven’t received any verification mail from WES. In fact, they had got the verification request by standard post. After rigorous follow up with university, they have reverted back to WES through standard post.
1. I would like to know, is it common that WES would be sending verification request to universities via post rather than by email?
2. How long does it take the documents to reach WES by standard Indian post?
Experts,seniors and those who had similar experience, please share your thoughts.

If you need the extra points (10 to be had for a Masters equivalency), then yes. If you’re getting a high enough CRS and are confident of an ITA without her ECA report and attendant spousal education credential points, then you don’t really NEED to get it done.
1. Hmmm, they have been sending verification requests by both snail mail and email from what Im aware. But if there’s no clear ID specified for your Institution, it’s possible for only a snail mail to have been sent, I guess...
2. A standard postal mail should not take more than 10 days to reach WES but don’t take my word for it - I’ve only read this off other internet sources as I have no first hand experience.
Any views @samikdg or @Jaywalker?
Hard to say, but I am really not sure if CIC would like to do the task of matching names across documents. Your passport name should ideally be the reference point for all other documents. You might have better luck raising this query on a bigger forum, such as ‘WES Timeline for 2018’: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/wes-timeline-for-2018.546104/
1. It could happen that WES sent the email and it went to Junk/Spam or it could also happen that only Snail Mail was sent. In addition to the snail mail, you can also request your institute to fax the verification response. The fax number should be mentioned in the letter.
2. When I sent my transcripts by DHL, it took just 2 days. Through India Post, I suppose it should reach within 10 days on average.
Hey @Nishika22 & @Jaywalker @burm7793 ,
My status went "On hold" as the university person told me a different process & didn't mention the reference no. on the verification letter that WES provided via post/ email, while they added my ref. no.
I wasn't aware that WES has a separate ref. no. that they provide when they send docs for a verification process & now my application is delayed cos of this. I so feel that WES should involve the candidates as well in this process as the uni wont help or support unless the student visits them 5-6 times & plead.
My university says that they will give me an envelope for the verification request & I will have to post it on my own. Do I mention my reference no. on the envelope?
Also, if yes then which reference no. should be mentioned
1. My Ref. no. that I received when I created a WES profile.
2. The one which WES sent to the university for the Verification request.
This process is extremely unorganized as the university is least bothered & lack of cooperation. They don't check mails or attend calls, it's so easy to just revert on the mail with the scanned doc. They are not even ready to mail the Verification letter which they are providing in an envelope.
Please help if you know about mentioning the ref. no. on the verification envelope.....
Thanks
Hey @Nishika22 @JaywalkerHi @ashu_h_89 , as suggested by @Jaywalker, you would need to get the documents that have already been sent, verified by Pune University. Sending the same documents, even if there is mention of a verification being conducted, would not serve the purpose. While it is logical to assume that the verification of the documents, done proactively, should suffice just as well as a direct response to the WES verification email or snail mail by the concerned University authority, such is unfortunately not the case. NOTE: The 10-digit verification ID MUST be quoted, exactly as received by the University in the verification request sent out by WES. Also, they must word the response to clearly indicate that verification is being done against the request sent by WES, and that the documents provided by WES are in order to proceed with the evaluation of the concerned candidate. WES is indeed quite draconian on that point
Thanks a ton for sharing details. WES has sent a letter to the university stating that "the enclosed documents are to be verified, it has a unique ref. no. 10 digit no" as you guys mentioned (which the uni. didnt bother to check)
My previous letters that I sent didnt have the "10 digit ref. no." as the person in the uni. told me to fill the academic record form from the WES site & I put my ref.no. in that. Thus, my letters had "my 7 digit ref.no."
So if I put the "10 digit no." I think my status wont go on hold???
My university said, they wont post the envelopes. They will give me the letters in a sealed, stamped & signed envelope & I post it separately to WES.
So,
1. Is it fine if I send across the envelopes to WES?
2. Do I mention my ref.no. on the outside of both envelopes, if yes then which one (10 digit or 7 digit)??
3. Should I also send "Attested photocopies" of my marksheet, passing cert. & degree cert. along with the letters or will the letter suffice he need??
My status goes "On hold" everytime for some or the other missing info which is difficult to crack all the time. Its been the case for now over 2 months....
The uni. doesn't cooperate & help...
I already replied to you few days back explaining what needs to be done - Even @Nishika22 elaborated further - But you are asking same thing againHey @Nishika22 @Jaywalker
