ECA from University of Toronto (CES)

[trushitpatel]

I have a query regarding CES, if anyone has created profile with CES in 2020, I have created profile and made the payment, now my question is if i get transcripts from my university, can i send them to CES, or just ask my university to send them.

Please help me with this

You can mail your verified documents in a sealed envelope (which you received from your institute)
directly to CES.

However, I suggest you to request your institute to send verified documents (Verified Scan documents, degree and transcript) via electronic mail (ces.transcripts@utoronto.ca). This will save your time and money.

2. My uni sent the documents electronically.
3. I had dropped a total of 2 mails to ces. First 1 on 10/09/20 and 2nd on 01/12/20 regarding my process as they state clearly that you can contact them if it has been over 10 weeks since yours c2 was marked done.
4. I sent only the masters degree.
5. I did not make any calls to ces.
6. I waited for their response after each mail instead of dropping multiple mails.

Did you get hardcopy or softcopy?And what you opted for at the time of applying hard or soft copy?

Good to know that. Thanks for sharing. May I ask when your transcripts were delivered to them? Did you send in mail or via email?

 

[manveer1414]

I agree. My transcripts were delivered on Oct 22, still no update.
Has anyone get updates from CES with similar timeline?

My Transcript delivered on 30 Oct, but no update yet. I have also raised a ticket on the query form last week though no feedback.

Any update?

The status is the same. There is no update from last 6 month. I don't know what is going on.
I think I have made a mistake choosing them. My wife got evaluation done from WES within one month and that too in this pandemic.

My paper transcripts reached 17th march to toronto university. Only C1 and C2 is done so far. Now they rarely reply to mail queries. CES ECA is pathetic.

I am at last step of evaluation C6(dispatched), till C5 all completed. Could you pls tell did they email you soft copy or sent hardcopy on 05/12/2020.

 

[co2020]

honestly its better to use WES than the University of Toronoto.. my buddy got his assessment complete in two weeks .

Very true. Using University of Toronto CES was the biggest mistake I made.

Step 1 completed 09/09/2020
Step 2 not completed
Step 3 not completed
Step 4 not completed
Step 5 not completed
Step 6 not completed

I got this email from CES yesterday after I emailed them.

Your file is in queue for review. Everything is currently on track and progressing normally.

Your file is in queue for review. Regarding the expected timeline: prior to the COVID-19 interruption, the average processing time was 15 weeks from the date when all required documents were received by CES (September 9 in your case). We are doing our best to maintain the 15-20 week processing time for new applications, in particular those where the official transcripts were submitted electronically. Currently the Assessment Team is finalizing applications where all documents were received in August. Therefore you can expect to hear from them about the finalization of your report in January.
Your report is close to being completed.

Please keep checking your email regularly as you are now in the final phase before your application is completed. They may reach out to you before the holidays but if not, certainly will in January.

Hi, Kind of stupid question, CES sends the ECA through e-mail or do we need mandatory hard copy? i am trying to avoid paying extra 110 CAD for delivery charges.
