IQAS ECA timeline tracking

My status
It is particularly painful when I remember that I had an IELTS score of R9 L8.5 W7.5 S7.5 which expired on Dec 3, 2018. Ielt has changed and is a lot harder now.
My status moved to final review from in line for processing on 23 March 2019 which happens to be a Saturday. This has effectively put me on enquiry. IQAS is only open Mondays to Fridays so can anyone explain how this happened. Typically, Final review takes an average of 10-15 days but with the recent posts i've been seeing on here, I had better not get my hopes up.

Don't worry too much about all this. Once all your docs are delivered its on IQAS.
Even if you worry, it wont make any difference. What can you do maximum? contact them... and what you get... Same standard replies.. If there is any sort of issue they will send you an email. But I am pretty sure if you sent all the docs as per your country requirements. There wont be an issue.
As you said ua ielts is expired and it is harder now. I guess preparing for ielts should be the area of your focus, rather than worrying about iqas. Focusing on IELTS may get you desired band. But worrying about IQAS ECA will lead to nothing.
Its just a guess... you may receive your eca on or before 10 May. {{{As said its just a guess and it may be earlier or later}}}
Have trust in your lord and IQAS
... Things will go smooth. But yes! it takes time.

Yes!! if you have not received ECA for this course from WES and if its a different course for which you have received IQAS ECA then you can select 2 or more options.

Hi guys, I just want to ask if any of you here (Asian) whose Masters degree was acknowledged by IQAS as comparable to Canadian Masters degree?
I did the WES the first time and my Masters degree is only a Bachelors degree equivalent to Canada. WES doesn't recognize much Masters degree from other countries so no use even if they are faster in processing unless your CRS is already high. For those aiming to boost their CRS using their academic credentials, specially if you have Masters degree, then they said IQAS is recognizing it and so I am willing to wait which they said will took for 4-6 months. God is the Best Planner, I trust on that

Hi guys. Has anyone here who received their IQAS with comparable Masters degree with Canada? I did WES for initial ECA but my Masters degree is only a Bachelors degree to them. They said WES doesn't recognize much Masters degree from other countries specially Asian but IQAS do. So I am trying now IQAS. They said it will take 4-6 months but I'm willing to wait for recognition of my Masters. I believe God is the Best Planner
No update yet,really frustrating.Thought they worked in sequence but ECAs have been random so far. I saw a few people on fb with almost same dates receiving ECAs. Keeping fingers crossed.
