Hi there,

I have a question on applying ECA through IQAS because every morning I tried to create a new application the IQAS page get frozen... and this below message popped up.

"IQAS daily limit of applications for immigration purposes has been reached for today.

To support reasonable processing times, IQAS limits the number of Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) applications for immigration purposes that are accepted each day. Once the daily limit has been reached, it will reset the following day at 08:15 AM, Alberta / Mountain Time.

You may wish to keep trying each day, or you may wish to consider another designated organization if you need to apply for an ECA today. To learn more about each organization designated by the Government of Canada to issue ECAs, visit:Designated Organizations.

Thank you for your interest in IQAS".


Any help/suggestion will be highly appreciated... as it's been a week I'm trying to create an ECA application but seems nothing is working for me.

Thank you!
Best Regards.

Is there a reason for you choosing IQAS? I personally went with WES, didnt encounter that issue.

I know it's frustrating but I have done it yesterday - somehow my timing get perfect and get through to the payment page and completed the payment.

Also just wanted add one point "whichever internet browser you are using, enable the "Pop-ups and redirects" because the payment page opened on a new tab". For chrome to change this ---- Go to Settings --> Privacy and security --> if you scroll down the page then at the bottom you should be able to see "Pop-ups and redirects" --> enable this.

By the way I used chrome and works for me.

Hope this helps! Good luck!!

I am also stuck here from weeks now. I am stuck at the first page in "Create a New Application" where I have to choose ECA. Just clicking on that gives me this error.

"IQAS daily limit of applications for immigration purposes has been reached for today.

I tried logging at 8:10 to 8:15 AM , hitting refreshes, enabling pop up and redirects in Microsoft Edge and other tricks as well. So somebody please help me out literally.

Hello Ammy,

Just now I tried again around 8:15 am MST it still did not worked. I tried simultaneously on Edge and Chrome in my PC and on Chrome in my laptop but everything was useless again.
It is not going pass the big ECA tab while creating an application. Its really annoying and painful now. Forget about the payment I cannot pass the first page even.

Yes Ammy, its not working. What I feel is that they have actually stopped new applications just because of Christmas and new year. As they will not be operating from 24th Dec to Jan 4th so might be they want to clear and all the applications till date and do not want any pending applications once they start their operations from Jan 5th. That's what my instincts are.
This is reason people are not able not createnew ECA application and few suffering on payment page.

No Ammy, there is no scope except IQAS.
WES has nothing regarding SCDL in its drop-down list. Both ICAS and CES has a list of institutions for which they do not assess equivalency that includes SCDL in it
Is there any other parties than IQAS for ECA for SCDL Post graduation
