IQAS ECA Assessment

[Snaina]

I called today. Application will be ready 9-10 weeks from AOR 2 (Which in my case is 25th October). So that means end Dec or early Jan.

Yeah, I think that's a standard canned response. I wrote to them, appealing to their sense of charity, asking if the evaluation would be impacted by holidays. I got pretty much the same answer verbatim.

I have a business proposition for IQAS, to design a chatbot for their customer service people. We may end up getting more up-to-date information.

My education is from India. TO get the ECA report, it takes about 6 weeks from the 2nd email (according to my timeline), so you should be getting your report in Dec I guess.

Keep your hopes alive.

Thanks, man! It's going to be very long 6 months of PR process, if not longer.

Hi,
I need some guidance on the IQAS application. If anyone can help it will be appreicated!
1. I finished a 2 year PG dipolma from SCDL. The duration was from 2008 - 2010 however I completed the program only in 2013.
The application asks for "Instruction dates". Which dates/year should I be mentioning there?

2. They are asking for a specific start date (including month and date) and specific end date. I don't have those? Any guidance on how strict they are wrt to these dates? What should I be mentioning here?

Can't answer first part of the query, and you should ask some seniors in other forums.

For second one, I can share my experience. I simply mentioned 1st July as start dates and 30th June as end dates because academic sessions in my country start in July and end in June, though not on these specific dates always. The idea is to weed out people studying only for 8 months, for example, and claiming benefit of full year's study. If you were part of a full time program, you are okay by default.

Would you mind sharing your timeline? and did you received a single email also confirming the receipt of your academic documents?

Np, i was in your boat just a few days ago. Endless frustration on when i would get. I called last week, they said please count 9-10 weeks from second AOR. That means somewhere around end of December. But luckily 1st Morning, it was there, and the hardcopy came in barely 3 days after.

Just give a call, and see the status. No harm.

I did call. Turns out they don't do assessments in a queue. So, you were really lucky @jeesh. They have no idea when my assessment would be complete. Seriously freaking out about end of the month holidays. Though in the grand scheme of things, it's pretty tame stuff.

Received soft copy of IQAS ECA for my MBA today morning and the following is specified.

Comparative Levels of Achievement in Canada:

The Master of Business Administration degree generally compares to the completion of a Master of Business Administration degree.

This means that I can now claim CRS points for Masters degree?

Did anyone noticed, IQAS updated their processing time from 9-10 weeks to 12 weeks on their website. This is seriously upsetting. I waited one month for the first AOR and then another 2 weeks for the second AOR. And now I would have to wait around 3 months to get the assessment. What stupidity is this !!!
If IQAS has an 8 hour working policy I think an assessor can get 3 to 4 assessments done at least in a day. This is so ridiculous.
