Hi guys,

I received AOR 2 on the 5th of July but still haven't received any response on the ECA report from IQAS. I have seen that some people who got the AOR 2 on the same date have already received their ECA reports. So I just want to ask if I should send a request to IQAS and get an update on my case? Will it have any negative impact on the processing time, as they specifically mentioned in the AOR 2 email that if you check up on the status of your application it might further delay its processing.

So I hope you guys can guide me and let me know if I should wait a little longer or contact IQAS right away?! Thanks!
AOR 2: 5th July
still no ECA.. contacted them via their website got no response.. getting anxious :(

Try sending email on below id and ask. The status, although I think you should get by next week.....

LBR.Immigration-Info@gov.ab.ca
got the email this morning :D
thanks though :)

now can someone please tell me what does this equivalency mean? I have a Bachelor of Engineering (4 years) and Master of Project Management (1 year).. this has been declared equal to "four-year Bachelor degree of science with focus in Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering" and "Master's degree with focus in Project Management"

do I get equivalency of "Two or more degrees" or "Masters Degree" ?

I just received my ECA soft copy today and i am very surprised since i wasn't expecting it till end of October. So its about 1 month earlier than the time i had calculated.

Application package delivered: 9th June, 2018
AOR 1 received: 10th July, 2018
Academic documents delivered: 3rd July, 2018
AOR 2 received: 23rd August, 2018
ECA soft copy received: 15th September, 2018

(I believe i received AOR 2 later than usual and maybe they had put my file in line for processing earlier and forgot to send me AOR 2. Many applicants on this forum recieved AOR in last week of july for their documents delivered around 2-3 July. So my AOR 2 was delayed about 23 days. I called them on 23rd August to inquire about AOR2 and they sent me email 20 minutes after the call.)

P.S. I think my application was processed faster than normal because the photocopies of my degree and transcript that i sent in my application package were already attested by HEC, Pakistan therefore it would have been easier for IQAS to verify these documents from HEC.

maybe this is the case.. as your timeline is way quicker than mine.. I received AOR 2 on 5th July and received ECA today.. but my degrees were attested by universities..
though my main reason for going with IQAS was avoid the hassle of going to HEC.. even though both of my degrees are listed in WES, I chose IQAS because it was easier for me to get them attested from university..

I just had a few spare photocopies attested from HEC which i had done earlier for another purpose. So i sent them with application. Although IQAS clearly mentions that photocopies don't have to attested.

There's actually a part of the website that says 12 weeks and another that says 12 - 13 weeks (the contact IQAS page), all from the date IQAS receives the last document needed for the evaluation. I'll give it 13 weeks to be on the safe side and to also manage anxiety .

My spouse's application is currently in the 13th week.

Hi what does ECA email look like?
What's HEC?
You're very lucky. We all are waiting for 3 months now
