I called IQAS today and they gave standard reply that they are processing files between Jan 8 - Jan 16. My documents received on Feb 7th and she said it will take 3-4 weeks to reach that point :-(. Anyone on the same boat??

Hi, my husband and I are on the same boat.. we got delivery confirmation from our courier service on 7th Feb 2018, but we haven’t received any confirmation email from IQAS as yet. On sending the inquiry, we got a standard reply from
them that if the courier service has confirmed the delivery then most likely your application is under process and you will receive the confirmation email from IQAS soon.. but we are still waiting..

Does anyone have any idea how long do they take to send the first confirmation email? And how long does the entire process exactly take?

Congratulations. Really nice to see that you got the ECA in just about a month from receiving AoR. It is certainly a confidence booster for others.

Yup, There are many eager applicants who are waiting just like us..Hope they receive there ECA earlier than expected as well.

Please confirm when u receive ur hard copy, infact i really dont know we need a hard copy or soft copy would suffice.

It seems that to enter the express entry pool to get an ITA,soft copy of eca is enough...
Hard copy of Eca is required at a later stage when you need to present all the hard copies of your supporting documents which shows how you got the CRS points...post invite..
From earlier enquiries on this post, seems like candidates are getting their hard copies anywhere from 7-15 days after getting soft copy...so it should be maximum 2 weeks from now..

Hi everyone,

I sent two separate packages to IQAS for ECA, the first arrived on 15th Jan and the 2nd one on 19th Jan. I received first AOR on the 2nd March that my application has been received. Still waiting for 2nd AOR and ECA.

Regards,

I didn't write anything on that particular box. However, the next box 'Transcripts (mark sheets, grade reports) issued by:' wrote the Institution name. You can also just check the box and leave it blank for the one that you asked for.
