I am hoping to join the pool for the next draw as my IELTS score is out tomorrow and WES is taking their sweet time(been already 8 working days). Any idea how long does WES take to do the ECA? It is mentioned on their site that it take 20 business days and that bothers me as I might miss the next draw :(
It took them 2 months to evaluate my bachelors and masters. Good luck.

Is there any need to be worried that CIC has conducted 3 draws in April and it's just 20th.
Secondly, could it be that the CIC is planning a change, given that Australia just recently shut its door on Immigration
Lastly, what is the chance that there will be a draw on the 26th April?

Can you explain why you need WES? I'm lost here, can't you just have your credentials and submit them to IRCC when they ask for them? I'm new here so trying to understand the terms and what you need.

It is my view that IELTS or Other Language Test never have significant impacts on ITA's. There were Two Language results at the end of march, but still there was a 10 points decline for the 5th April draws.

However the recent distribution means majority of applicants were placed between 411-414, and if this was true then the next draw will not see a decline more than 5 points. It is still hard to believe in these distributions but still we have to follow.

By WES they meant ECA. You need ECA (in case of education outside Canada) and IELTS upfront in order to enter EE pool.

I am waiting for my WES...

unfortunately It took me a lot of time to collect the transcripts. The reason was that I am from defence background so completed my education from various institutions all across the country. Finally dispatched the transcripts last week via DHL. the tracker shows it as delivered on Tuesday but WES still shows documents awaited status.


My score adds up to 420. my worrial is that how much time would be taken by WES to complete the ECA so that i could enter the EE pool. If it gets delayed by a long time, then scores might go up.


what do you people predict.

any suggestions to get the WES ECA expedited.


kindly help
I recently applied for WES, I mailed the documents from Canada. It paid express post and the package delivered next day. It took 2 days for them to update the received status. Exactly after 1 week after I see an update saying they started evaluating my documents. According to my friends, it takes 1 week to hear back from them.

Hope this helps.

WES is an agency that evaluates your educational credentials if you've studied outside Canada. You need their evaluation along with your IELTS details to enter the Express Entry pool.
Hope this helps.

I understand now.

Do you know which service would be faster? I'm seeing here WES, CES, ICAS, IQAS, ICES.

From what I have seen in this thread, WES can be slow.

Thank you.

Most people I know have used WES. Whether they are fast or not doesn't depend on the agency but the nature of your degree and where you received it.

Yes I was struck by the seemingly low numbers of hopefuls too.
Maybe it's something to do with how far canada is on the map.
Most people I know would rather immigrate to UK if the government would let them. It's closer to their country of origin and offers more travel options within Europe.
Well I'm from the UK and am considering relocating to Canada so make of that what you will. ;D

Did you have to arrange for the institution to send your transcript or you just sent a copy of your transcript?

I see that might delay things, waiting for my university to send the transcript ;o
