Hi

I submitted my application in first week of February. All of my documents were delivered by third week of February. Status changed to Documents received- review in progress in first week of March.

Status changed to "Waiting for required documents" in second week of March as according to them one of my documents was missing. Tracked the missing document through the courier service and it had been successfully delivered. Emailed them but according to them they didn't receive it. Now I have issued the documents again and they will hopefully reach by Friday.

Any idea how long will it take from next Friday till the completion of evaluation. Whats the average time. I see 20 business days. Is this after the status changes to "evaluation in progress" or is it from "review in progress".

Thank you

WES takes longer than their published turnaround time. It took me 3 months.

Hi,
Do we need to send an email to know the reason. Mine is more than 1,5 month but status is always "Evaluation in progress"

WES is taking longer than usual. It took 40 days for me.
Get the transcript from college and send it in a signed sealed envelope.

My wife's took exactly 20 days after evaluation in progress, you need to constantly hammer them through emails and tweets, I basically wrote to them about missing opportunity to create an online profile and urged them to expedite our case.

Welcome to the club!! They have received my documents on 15 Feb and the status changed to review in progress on 15 March!!! 1 month without touching the documents, they are so lousy.

I wrote them on twitter and the web form and seems like no other option than to wait the irresponsible WES.

Go write them a negative review all over the web so that people try to avoid them.

You won't be surprised if it takes another one month to just get it evaluated.

Hey man, try hitting up their twitter. I was waiting for my result too and felt it was taking too long, sent in Jan and no news until March. Once I hit their twitter, and DMd them my reference number, I got the result within 48 hours. True story. I think it's @wescanada but do double check.

It will take a calendar month anyway as they mentioned its 20 business days from having the "evaluation in progress". If you think they may delay it because I gave them negative review, you are mistaken. I could easily file a consumer complaint report to Ontario, you dont need to be in Canada to do it.
