I have recently completed my Masters from Karachi, Pakistan, and sent my educational documents (through my immigration consultant) to CES (Toronto) for getting my Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report. It has been 9 weeks since CES acknowledged receipt of my application. Can anyone with experience of working with CES let me know how long it took them to get their ECA from CES?

Looks like everyone is using WES except me. Wonder why my immigration consultant used CES for me, he is not answering my phone calls and emails or text messages since several weeks.

I did from CES , it took about 15 weeks for me, time was not a problem for me.

I think current processing is 12 weeks

I used CES for my Bachelors Degree. They're fine to use. Thoroughly professional. Got the report in 15 weeks.

Only after I used CES did I find out about WES. For me they were faster. I think about 4 weeks. Not sure if this was because I paid for them to evaluate my Post Graduate Diploma. Maybe if it was say a Masters Degree they may have taken longer.

WES and IQAS are pretty quick in doing educational assessment for immigration.

yes, IQAS is pretty fast now adays..
I got my ECA done in just 14 days..

just one thing though, IQAS doesn't provide electronic copy of ECA like WES does..
also there is no such option to check your ECA application status online like WES offer.

I used CES. They received my documents early February and I was emailed my report the last of April. The mailed copy followed soon after.

Alhamdolillah I received my ECA for Masters degree from CES last week. Took 18 weeks to get ECA since acknowledgement of receipt of my application by CES in early March 2016.

My CRS score has climbed from 441 to 481 Alhamdolillah and MashAllah after this ECA for my recently completed 2-years Masters degree.

from where did you get IELTS (AEO or British counsil) ????
I gave my IELTS through British Council, Karachi. I don't think it makes any difference whether you use British Council or AEO, I think both offer same level of customer service. I am satisfied with British Council.

+1 please, if you found my post helpful.
