We both received master equivalency for an "European Master" - - >3 years bachelor and 2 years Master

Looks like they are wrapping up October reports. I should get my wife's ECA in about 1.5 months from now!

It's really a long wait and they must consider speeding up their process by hiring temporary staff.

Hi all,

I have a question for those who got their ECA from CES University of Toronto: On Jan 25th I submitted my profile and on February 7th I received confirmation that my transcripts were received (my profile now show "Transcripts Received - Complete"). However, since Feb 7, I have no other updates.. :(
I saw other experiences shared on this forum for people who submitted their profile after I did, and almost all either received updates, either got their decision dispatched, which doesn't make sense for me as according to their website (CES), they are processing the applications on "first come, first serve" rule..

Can I please ask for any feedback / guidance on this please?

I'm a bit stressed about my timeline because I already work in Canada on work permit due to an internal job transfer from Romania to Canada, but I'm looking to submit my application for PR and I cannot do it without ECA.. (and my work permit will expire in 2020)

My CES profile:
  • Complete 1. Initial Review In Progress - JAN 25th
  • Complete 2. Transcript(s) Received - FEB 7th
  • Not Complete 3. Initial Review Complete
  • Not Complete 4. Assessment In Progress
  • Not Complete 5. Assessment Decision Made
  • Not Complete 6. Decision Dispatched
HELP PLEASE:- MY DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY DHL LAST WEEK, NOW HOW AND WHEN I WILL GET ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CES HAS RECEIVED MY DOCUMENTS. AND HOW LONG YOU TOOK TO GET ACKNOWLEDGED ABOUT YOUR DOCUMENTS RECEIVED.

It will take 6 months more or less to complete the whole process as you submitted your documents through post. And they will acknowledge by email once they start opening March month documents, so it’s a long way and you have to be patience.

If you submitted your documents via email (through your institute/university) then it will take 1-3 weeks to acknowledge. And then processing time would be 20 weeks.

By any chance, do you have any insight on how do they contact our universities for verification? By electronically or my physical mail?

I really don't know about this whether they have contacted my university or not. I didn't get any notification from my university. Maybe CES contact via email only.

Thanks man! They are going with institution verification for me, a new thing from CES, I contacted my university but they said they haven't received anything, I dont know what to do now! Hope they dont come by post, it would take another decade then. I mailed them requesting the mode of verification which again would take another week at their swift reply. If anyone has any insight please do share!!!

I applied on August 2020, they received the transcripts on Sep 15, its been 6 months, excluding the December vacation break, the moment they hit C3 they went for verification stating your profile is on hold due to unforeseen circumstances, man this is completely unexpected. My university states they haven't received any mail nor post mail yet. My ielts expiration is nearing and my 30th birthday is nearing and they are prolonging even more. I don't know by what mode they contact the institutions, if its by mail then when will they scan the mail that my university replies? by arrival date and time? then my evaluation will be on 2022.

Ohh that’s really disappointing. My friend applied in July end and his C3 done on mid December. He called them last week and they said they will complete before 31st March. I don’t think they will contact university via mail as this will be time taking.
