Delay in getting ECA from WES

Hello All,

WES received my wife's documents on 01 Nov 2016, and the 20 business days were completed on 29th Nov 2016.
On 25th Nov 16, I upgraded the report deliver method from by post to international express.

Unfortunately, we still haven't received her report. I sent them an email for which they gave a very generic reply.
It has been 24 working days now, and still the application status is 'Evaluation in Progress'

Is anyone else facing a similar delay ?

Note: I got my ECA done earlier and it was completed exactly in 20 Business days. I'm pretty much confident that the documents sent to them were in-line with their requirements.


IELTS: L8.5, R8.0, S7.0, W7.0
ECA- Self : 30 Oct 16
ECA- Spouse : 'Evaluation in progress'
CRS : 445

WES is being slow with me as well. My wife's documents reached on 11th November and the status was updated to 'Documents received - review in progress' on 17th November and hasn't changed since then. She sent them a message asking for an update and they replied with a generic email stating your file is under review.

Hi xpressentry,

I guess in your case, the status must change around 10 working days. I observed the same during my wife's ECA status change.

Today is the 12th working day for my wife. My documents reached on 14th and since 21st, the status is same as my wife's. We have given IELTS but can't enter the pool unless we have ECA completed.

No kidding? You received the soft copy in 10 days?
You are not alone. It's been 2 weeks and status of my application is still 'Evaluation in Progress'. I am expecting it to be done anytime in next week.

Ok Guys,

Finally some good news to share..
Got my wife's ECA complete on 5th December 16.

It took exactly 24 business days in this case. (From 01 Nov 16 to 05 Dec 16). So sometimes it does take more than 20 working days.

I guess they send the ECA reports on a Monday. :p (Same for me and my wife)

Hope those waiting for their ECA, get it done soon.


IELTS: L8.5, R8.0, S7.0, W7.0
ECA- Self : 30 Oct 16
ECA- Spouse : 05 Dec 16
CRS : 454
