Haven't heard anything since. Emailed twice, and had no replies. Called once, and was told that everything looks fine, and I would get an update via email in 5 days regarding my query about when I will get an estimated date of completion. Haven't received anything yet.

Based on my experience, that seems normal. It's a shame there aren't estimated completion dates for all stages. I was told that my escalation hadn't received a response, and they would submit another one. Not sure why mine has been stuck in the evaluation stage for so long, with no estimated date of completion.

Well called them yesterday, the customer service was educating me that I should write them instead of calling because he sees what I see on website but with email they can forward to evaluation center! I am now confused! He didn't want to help me or what? I have seen people here saying they get more details by calling WES! Anyhow this is taking forever...

The completion date email will be sent when they are in process to create the evaluation.

my case which is around 7-8 working days after receiving all required doc.

You're really lucky! They've been evaluating my docs for 26 working days now, and I still don't have the estimated completion date.

Thanks. I only knew I am lucky after reading all these threads.

but be patient, as once the evaluation is in progress they will send you a email (while other status change has no email) usually the completion take another month.

I am only missing this ECA no for my application...while seeing the CRS soars higher and higher..make me worried

Same here. This is the final thing I need before applying. What's your ECA estimated completion date?

5 March 2020. Is it I can get the ECA no on that day?
I wish I read the forum earlier so I would start the WES process same time as my IELTS...

From what I have read online, you will be emailed the ECA on (or close to) the estimated date of completion, and then you can apply for EE with the WES reference number from the ECA. Obviously you'll still need to wait to receive the printed copy, but you don't need the physical copy to submit the EE application (or ever, as far as I understand).

Shame, yeah, that would've been good. I just read their processing time on their website, but they seem to be taking longer now. I couldn't request my ECA any sooner, as I was still waiting to graduate from my master's, and get my degree certificate to send to WES. As soon as that happened, I requested the ECA.

Hope yours is actually completed on 5 March! And I hope I get my estimated completion date soon. Otherwise I'll call again. It's a pity they don't have an online system to track queries. I have reference numbers from emails, but I have to call them to track them.
