Finally received my ECA today and received the Master's equivalency for my BE + PGDM :)

Following is my ECA timeline to summarize:
Made payment and sent courier to WES through DHL - 23rd May
Documents received at WES as per DHL record - 25th May
Status changed to Documents Received - Under Review - 28th May
Status changed to On Hold for PGDM and Documents Accepted for BE - 6th June
After rounds of follow-up, second VDR email sent by WES - 22nd June
Verification email sent by institute to specific WES email ID - 26th June
Status changed to Evaluation report under review (with ECA due date of 18 July) - 27th June

You appled for evaluation based on different educational qualifications it seems.

When document A was received, they start your evaluation and confirm the originality of your documents.
When document B was received, document B probably have an ongoing originality check and was being carried out with document A at the same time. You haven't heard back from them till date so i would make a guess that your school haven't replied WES's query or something. At this length in time, your evaluation should be completed or almost in completion.

My advise is to call WES and find out? They pick their calls

What do you mean by, "When document B was received, document B probably have an ongoing originality check and was being carried out with document A at the same time" ?

WES takes about 2-2.5 weeks to review the documents and accept them. If they have any doubt regarding authenticity, they may send for verification to your institute but then the status will change to "On Hold". So my guess is your status should change to "Documents Accepted - Evaluation under progress" by EOD today or latest early next week. After that, it will typically take them another 3 weeks to give the ECA.

Thanks for your detailed response!

I see many other posts on this thread in which people got to "documents accepted" state within 7-10 days (not business days).

My docs reached at the same time as mentioned (July 5). It's been 15 days now (non business days). Should I get alarmed?

Hi Samik,

I have done my BE and Post graduate diploma from Nagarjuna university. I have sent transcripts for both of them. Now the current status is "Evaluation in Progress". Prior to that it was "All documents were reviewed and accepted". Now i just want to know if they will put my status again on HOLD for verifying Post graduate diploma program.
Could you please give your inputs ?

For my spouse it came after 16 days, and I know a lot more with that kind of timeline. Patience is the biggest virtue required in the Canada PR process :)

It is difficult to predict if WES will put it on hold for verification, but there's a possibility. Is your diploma a PGDM? Recently a lot of cases from India have happened with PGDM and MBA degrees where WES put them on hold for verification. It's a cumbersome process, but most of us have come out of it and received our ECA. You can refer to the thread below.

Thanks for the information.

Mine is PGDIT (Post graduate diploma in Information technology).

If they put on hold, should we take any action from our end ?

Ideally no, but practically yes, you'll need to contact your institute and WES to expedite the process. Please go through the thread I've quoted.

Hello.

my friend recently received ECA for her PGDM as Bachelor's equivalency, though the course was approved by AICTE. Any idea how WES decide on this, since certain PGDM courses are offered Masters equivalency while others are not..
